Before you book
Nervous? Most of our patients were too.
Pick the thing that worries you most. Here is exactly how we handle it.
“Will it hurt?”
We numb properly and wait until you are comfortable before we begin. Agree a signal with us — a raised hand is enough — and we stop, every time you use it.
What happens at a first visit“What will it cost?”
You get a written plan and quote before any treatment. Nothing is added without your agreement.
What actually decides the price“I haven't been in years.”
Many of our patients haven't. We are interested in fixing the problem, not in how it got there — and you will not get a lecture.
Start with a consultation“Is it really clean?”
Instruments are cleaned and sterilised between every patient. Needles, gloves and suction tips are single-use and never reused. Ask to see the process — we would rather show you than have you wonder.
How the clinic works“Can I bring my child?”
Yes — and earlier than most parents think, around the first birthday. First visits are short: sit in the chair, count some teeth, leave happy.
Children's dentistry“It's hurting now.”
Call us. We keep time for same-day emergencies, including weekends. Swelling spreading to the eye or neck, or trouble breathing, needs a hospital first.

How it works
Three steps. You decide at every one.
Book a visit
Online, on WhatsApp or by phone. We confirm within 15 minutes during clinic hours.
Talk, then examine
We listen first, examine properly, and show you what we find — taking X-rays only when they will change the plan.
Decide with a written plan
Options, risks and the full cost in writing. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Paying for treatment
The cost, in writing, before anything starts.
We don't publish a price list, because the right treatment depends on what we find. What we promise is simpler: you will never be surprised by a bill.
