FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

A wonderful dental practice. The whole team is professional, kind and helpful. I have been seeing Lucy Li for a few years now and she is a fantastic dentist. She is truly great at what she does and is so helpful and kind. She notices tiny changes and is a real safe pair of hands. She always has time for any questions and concerns you may have. Equally, hygienists Natalie, Lisa and Charlotte and their team are wizards. They all have so much knowledge and patience. My teeth brushing and flossing has improved immensely. They also take great care around any sensitivity and make you feel at ease. I also have to shout out the reception team. They are always friendly and helpful whether it is on the phone or in-person. You always feel welcome. If you are looking for a new dental practice this is a great one! Thank you very much!

They are all highly knowledgeable staff and particularly courteous and gracious. They listen to your needs and explain in detail each and every procedure. They are also understanding if you are fearful and put you as best they possibly can, at ease.

Apart from having to physically turn up everything else is sorted, none of my time wasted, highly efficient and effective system in place.

An appointment with the hygienist isn't normally a time for pleasure, but the hygienist who treats me is a delight - she listens to any concerns and responds appropriately, she makes every effort to cause minimum discomfort or distress, she treats me like an adult and, over a period of 6 years, the state of my teeth has improved enormously thanks to her care in conjunction with that of the dentist.

They have always been very good with my treatment and putting me at my ease as dentist appointments aren't my favourite pastime

I was a bit naughty. The reception lady told me Dr House was running on time ( because i was in an awful hurry to drive to London and leave on time) so instead of waiting for the dental nurse to collect me I snuck upstairs because it was the time for my appointment. I was lucky. Dr House was there and happy to see me.It turns out a patient was late so I had managed to be seen before them.I am not sure what had happened there but I was happy that I didnt have to wait for the late patient that should have been before me.I was glad I nipped upstairs.Best.Anna Maynard Monday 4.00 appointment

All of the staff are extremely friendly, listen to any concerns that you have with your teeth and don’t rush your appointment.
