Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. We are currently accepting new patients.
Please visit our website: www.shrubberydental.co.uk or call us on 01905 20136 to make an enquiry or book an appointment.
3. How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from attending every 6 - 12 months, although some may require more frequent hygiene visits.
4. Do treatments hurt?
We use modern anaesthetic techniques, including topical anaesthetic to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. Many treatments are virtually painless, and we always explain each step before beginning.
5. I’m a nervous patient. Can you help?
Absolutely. We have a gentle, patient centred approach and take the time to make you feel at ease.
6. How quickly can I be seen in an emergency?
If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or have broken a tooth, contact us immediately. We reserve a number of same day appointment slots for emergency appointments whenever possible. We also have an oncall dentist available for advice out of normal working hours.
7. Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer 0% interest on any finance taken out for treatments above £750. This allows you to spread the cost of more complex or cosmetic procedures.
8. Are X-rays safe?
Yes. Dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are considered completely safe. They help us diagnose issues early and accurately.
