Welcome
Practice Philosophy
It is our philosophy to promote dental health at all times, and
help provide you with a healthy and attractive smile. We therefore recommend
regular check-ups which will identify and prevent any problems at an
early stage and keep down the cost of your treatment.
We aim to offer
our patients top quality dental care, in a safe and comfortable environment,
using the latest materials, equipment, procedures and techniques. We
also ensure that we only use dental laboratories with the same high
standards as ourselves.
We recognise that
patients increasingly wish to find out more about preventative oral
health care and talk about treatment options. We are happy to discuss
even the simple, yet important, things often taken for granted, like
proper brushing and flossing techniques. If any aspect of your dental
appearance concerns you, no matter how trivial it may seem, please discuss
it with your dentist.
It is our policy
for each patient to see one dentist on a continuing basis. However,
if this is not possible, suitable alternative arrangements can be made
for you to see another dentist within the practice.
We are commited
to offering our patients treatment under the NHS.
However, the number
of NHS
patients we can see each year is limited.
Government
changes means that Wiltshire Primary
Care Trust (PCT) is now responsible for local NHS dental services.
The PCT asks dentists to provide a fixed, limited amount
of NHS care each year, and so we have to allocate our time and budget
accordingly.
