Dental health is critical to everyday life; healthy teeth allow us to eat, drink, smile, talk and interact comfortably and confidently. At Heathwood Dental Practice we understand your dental needs and work with you to help maintain and restore your dental health. Our teeth change throughout our lives – and dental requirements are very individual.
At your first visit, we take the time to get to know you, whether you have any immediate concerns, your level of dental health, and what your long-term outlook is. In addition to examining your teeth, we carry out a soft tissue screen to check all the oral tissues are healthy, and exclude problems such as oral cancer. The information we gather is usually augmented by x-rays and we may take photos, so that when we discuss your oral health with you, we can help you make informed decisions.
If you need treatment, we will explain the various options, so that we develop a treatment plan together, that takes account of your wishes and treatment needs. We will print a plan for you, listing all the stages and fees.
We operate a ‘pay as you go’ policy, so you only pay for treatment when it is carried out, and have a payment plan scheme for spreading the cost of treatment over 3-10 months. For dentally fit patients, we also offer our bespoke in-house Heathwood Primecare plan, which for a simple monthly payment, covers most routine treatments, such as examinations, hygiene visits and restorative work. Please see here for more details.
Our team undergoes constant ongoing training, so that we all keep abreast of the latest dental advancements and best practices. Our team is well experienced and works together seamlessly to ensure smooth and straightforward dental service for you. We use the finest materials, up-to-date technology and equipment and super comfortable dental chairs!
Our practice is kept beautifully clean and calm, and our reception team is always on hand to welcome you on arrival and answer any questions you may have. Our policies and pricing are transparent.
We follow the most rigorous cross-infection control procedures in the surgeries. As part of this, we request that patients contact us to reschedule any appointments if they have had a cold sore for less than two weeks, to ensure that they don’t attend during the contagious period.
