There are often several options available regarding types of treatment available and these will be fully discussed with you. Depending on the findings of the initial dental examination, we will give you a timetable as to how often you will need to be seen.  A recommended programme for further examinations and visits will be discussed.

On occasion, it may be necessary to make a further appointment to discuss suggested treatment options. We will always endeavour to tailor your treatment to what is best for you.  You will be involved in this process to ensure that you are happy with what is proposed throughout your treatment.
