FAQs

What are the arrangements for emergency appointments during Practice opening hours?

During normal Practice hours you will have access for dental emergencies. The cost for this will be £30 for initial assessment provided you’ve had an examination with us in the last year.

Denplan patients will receive all initial emergency treatment without a fee.

What happens if I have a dental emergency outwith practice opening times?

For a dental emergency, such as severe pain, abnormal swelling, excessive bleeding, and trauma. Both Denplan and Pay as you go patients may call NHS 111.

Alternatively the Practice will be operating an extensive out of hours service for both Denplan & pay-as-you-go patients by arrangement.

Denplan patients who have taken out the supplementary insurance will have exclusive access to the Denplan emergency helpline.

What happens if I have an existing dental / medical plan through my work? 

We would recommend that you move to a Private pay-as-you-go patient, and claim the cost of treatment back.
