For new patients wishing to join Springmount Dental Practice for their general dental care, the first appointment will be for an extended examination. If we have not seen you before it is important that we have an opportunity to make a thorough assessment of your oral condition. This involves a full clinical examination of the teeth, gums, jaw joints, oral soft tissues and the way in which your teeth meet together. Standard x-rays taken in this appointment are included in the consultation fee.
If a need for treatment is diagnosed you will be provided with a printed estimate of treatment costs and information as to the approximate number of visits required.
When an appointment is made for you to see one of the professionals at the practice the time is allocated exclusively for you. We do not “double-book” patients. We plan to work to the scheduled timing. Sometimes, for unforeseen reasons, we do run late and we apologise to those who may be kept waiting as a result. One of the most frequent reasons for the clinicians running late is the late arrival of patients; we really do appreciate your prompt attendance.
