New NHS Patients
At Market Place Dental Care, we are currently accepting new NHS patients. The demand for NHS treatment is very high at the moment, and so we recommend that patients contact the dental practice and speak to the practice reception team for the up to date position on waiting times for new NHS patients.
These waiting times do vary according to our Clinical Capacity, and so an NHS appointment may not be immediately available.
If this happens to be the case, new patients then have the option of either booking a Private appointment, and by this approach being able to be seen more urgently, and then once the urgent problem has been adressed Privately, they can then join the NHS list for an appointment in due course.
New Private Patients
At Market Place Dental Care, we are currently accepting new Private patients and a new Private patient appointment is usually available within 24 hours. Occasionally, this period can be 48 hours, however, equally, if the problem is urgent, a new Private patient appointment can sometimes be made for the same day.
Your First Visit
For your first apointment, you will need:
- A list of any current medications
- Your doctor's details
- To fill out your Confidential Medical History
It is not normally necessary for us to have access to your previous dental records so please don't worry about them.
At your first visit, we believe it is necessary to get to know you, so we dedicate your first visit to determining your dental needs through undertaking a dental care assessment such as taking x-rays
