New Patients
A People-Centred Approach
Our Approach
Here at one80 Dental, we know that finding the right dental practice and the right dentist for you and your family is a big decision. Our aim is to help make your choice an easy one, and most importantly, the right choice for you. We know how important it is to find a patient-centred dentist you can trust to give you the right care and advice.
Let’s get to know you
Once you’ve registered with us as a new patient, we’ll book you straight in for a comprehensive oral health assessment. This is an important opportunity for us to check your dental health and identify any existing or potential problems. It also gives you the chance to come in, meet the team in person, see the practice and get to know your new dentist. You can also ask us questions or discuss anything that might be worrying you. We are proud to provide patient-friendly facilities to everyone in our care.
Going at your pace
We won’t start any treatment during your first visit. Instead, we’ll take time to gather information, listen to your needs and expectations, and talk through possible outcomes. We’ll never rush you into making decisions. We focus on making appropriate recommendations and talking you through them, so that you can choose the right options for you. We’ll only start your treatment once you are 100% happy with the plan.
Treatment Coordinator
The treatment coordinator's role is to provide an excellent experience for all our patients. They’ll be your point of contact from joining the practice and throughout all your treatments, staying in regular contact with you to make sure your treatment is progressing exactly as you would like it to.
Treatment Consultation FAQs
Q. How long do new patient consultations take?
A. Our new patient appointments usually take 30-45 minutes and include a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums and bite. The appointment will also involve an initial chat to give you time to ask questions and to get to know your new dentist, followed by photography and routine X-rays (if required). If you need any routine dental work carried out, your dentist will talk it through, create a treatment plan and provide you with an estimate. If you don’t need any treatment, they may suggest you make an appointment with a dental hygienist.
Q. What if I feel anxious about visiting the dentist?
A. Please don’t worry, you’re not alone, as dental–related anxiety affects around 11% of the UK population. If you are nervous about the dentist, one80 Dental is the right practice for you. Our dentists take part in regular training provided by our unique anxiety management service so they can understand and support you with your worries. They will take their time to put you at ease, allay any fears and endeavour to help you feel more positive about your trips to the dentist.
Q. What is the difference between a general and a specialist consultation?
A. If you are aware of a specific issue or have been made aware of a specific issue by your dentist, then you may have a consultation with one of our specialists. A specialist is a practitioner who is recognised as being more qualified and more experienced. Therefore, they can offer and perform more advanced techniques, which can achieve greater levels of success, particularly in complex cases. At one80 Dental each of our specialists have undergone intensive advanced training as well as postgraduate study within a certain area of dentistry. This qualifies them to focus on dealing with problems using solutions specific to their chosen field.
