New Patients
Dove Holistic Dental Centre welcomes new patients. Choosing the right dental practice and team is an important decision, and so we encourage you to pop in for a few minutes to meet us, take a look around and find out more, with no obligation.
Also, don’t worry if you haven’t been to the dentist for a while as many of our new patients are often worried about visiting the dentist. Our team is friendly and empathetic and will do their utmost to help you feel more relaxed.
When you decide to book in for a New Patient Consultation appointment, we will take the time to listen to you and your concerns after which you will be introduced to your dentist who will carry out a comprehensive examination, including:
A full health assessment of your teeth and gums.
Saliva and Plaque Testing to help assess your individual risk of tooth decay.
Full Mouth Cancer Screening using the latest fluorescence visualisation technology.
Radiographs (x-rays) as needed.
Photographs as needed.
During the consultation, we will discuss our findings and any care options that are available to you. We have a preventive approach to dentistry, giving you essential advice on how to maintain and preserve a healthy mouth.
A further review appointment can be made with either your Patient Care Coordinator or your dentist to discuss your care plan and any additional questions you may have.
If you would then like or require any treatment, we will always confirm your treatment and cost in writing.
