New Patients — What to Expect at Your First Appointment

No referral needed, and no records required from your last practice — though they're useful if you have them. Here's what actually happens when you register.

Registering as a new patient

Registering is a first appointment, not a form you fill in beforehand and wait to hear back about — you book it the same way you'd book any other appointment.

What does it cost?

See our fees and membership options

Nervous about registering somewhere new?

Say so when you book — it's one of the most common things people say when they ring, and it changes how the appointment is run.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to register?

No. You can register and book a first appointment directly, in the same way you would with any private dentist.

Do I need my records from my previous dentist?

No, though they're useful if you have them, particularly X-rays. We can carry out a full examination without them.

Will I be pressured into a treatment plan at my first visit?

No. The first appointment is an examination and a conversation. Any treatment plan is discussed and costed before anything is booked, and there is no obligation to go ahead with it here rather than elsewhere.

What if I'm anxious about registering somewhere new?

Say so when you book. It changes how the appointment is run — see our nervous patients page for what that actually means in practice.
