Appointments:
We see patients by appointment only during our normal opening hours.

If you ask us for an appointment , we will try to offer you one as soon as possible at a convenient time. You can make an appointment by calling reception on 01225 703232 during our normal opening hours.

We try our best to be on time for appointments. The commonest cause of delays is late attendance of patients, which has an inevitable knock on effect. We respectfully ask patients to give themselves adequate time for travelling and parking.

If you arrive late for your appointment, we will do our best to fit you in, but this is not always possible, so we would ask you to ensure you arrive on time.

If you are unable to keep your appointment please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can give that appointment to someone else. Missed appointments waste NHS and dentists' time. If you miss 2 appointments and give less than 24 hours notice, we may not be able to complete your treatment or offer you NHS care in the future.

We regret that we are unable to cancel, book or alter appointments via email, although you can email to request we call you regarding an appointment. Please ensure you provide a daytime contact phone number with your email. For details on emailing us please see below.

Urgent & Out of Hours Emergency Services
If you have a dental emergency during Practice hours please call reception on 01225 703232 for advice.

We can only offer a small number of appointments for urgent dental treatments, during normal opening hours. We will try to see patients at short notice for real dental emergencies such as severe sudden pain or haemorrhage. Other dental problems such as toothache, losts fillings or discomfort will also be offered an appointment

We can also see non-registered private patients in cases of geniune distress if we have time available. In this case the patient will be asked to prepay a fixed fee to cover an assessmentf appointment and then to pay for any treatment needed.

As of 1 April 2006 Wiltshire PCT is responsible for urgent out-of-hours care in their area. If you need to see a dentist urgently at night, weekends or during public holidays, call the Emergency Out of Hours telephone number: 0300 111 5717

Specially trained staff will answer your call and provide advice or help.

This number is for Out of Hours urgent treatments ONLY. Urgent treatment means treatment that the dentist considers is necessary to relieve severe pain or prevent your oral condition deteriorating before you can make a routine appointment with your usual dentist.

You can also get advice from NHS Direct or call the Dental Helpline for general dental enquiries Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm on 0845 758 1926.
