New Patient Consultations
Starting at a new dental practice is an important decision, and at Kingswood Parks Dental Clinic, we want to make sure your first visit sets the right foundation for your ongoing care. Our new patient consultation is a comprehensive appointment designed to give us a thorough understanding of your dental history, current oral health, and personal goals, so we can provide truly personalised care from day one.
We take the time to listen carefully to your concerns and priorities, carry out a detailed examination, and explain everything we find clearly and honestly. There is no pressure and no rushing. At Kingswood Parks Dental Clinic, we believe exceptional dentistry begins with an exceptional relationship between patient and dentist, and that starts here.
What Happens at Your New Patient Consultation
Your new patient consultation at Kingswood Parks Dental Clinic is thorough, unhurried, and entirely focused on understanding you as an individual. We gather all the information we need to provide excellent, personalised dental care going forward.
Your first appointment will typically include:
- A review of your full medical and dental history
- A comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues
- Digital X-rays where clinically appropriate to provide a complete picture
- A periodontal assessment to evaluate your gum health
- An oral cancer screening as part of every routine examination
- A discussion of your concerns, goals and any treatments you are considering
- A 3D intraoral scan, allowing us to create a detailed digital model of your teeth and bite
- Clinical photographs to assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring changes over time
At the end of your consultation, your dentist will summarise their findings clearly and present a personalised treatment plan that addresses your needs and priorities, with full cost information for any recommended work.
Why Your First Appointment Matters
A thorough new patient consultation is the foundation of excellent long-term dental care. By taking the time to understand your complete dental and medical history at the outset, your dentist is better placed to provide treatment that is appropriate, safe and aligned with your individual circumstances and goals.
Many patients who come to us have not had a comprehensive examination for some time, or have had experiences elsewhere that have left them feeling anxious or unsure about their dental health. We welcome all patients warmly, regardless of the current state of their teeth or how long it has been since their last visit. Our approach is always honest, supportive and completely non-judgmental.
Following your consultation, we will agree a treatment plan and maintenance schedule that is realistic for you and fits around your lifestyle and budget. We believe in working in partnership with our patients, and we will always present your options honestly and clearly so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Can I book a check-up if I have not been to dentist in years?
Yes, absolutely. We welcome patients who have not visited a dentist for some time and will never make you feel judged. Our priority is simply to understand your current oral health and help you move forward in a positive way.
How long does a new patient consultation take?
New patient consultations at Kingswood Parks Dental Clinic are typically allocated forty-five to sixty minutes. This allows enough time for a thorough examination, X-rays where needed, and a full discussion of our findings and recommendations without any rush.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring details of any medications you are currently taking, including supplements. It is also helpful to let us know of any relevant medical conditions and the contact details of your previous dentist if you would like us to request any records.
I have not been to the dentist for many years. Will you judge me?
Not at all. We see many patients who have not attended regularly for a variety of reasons, and we always welcome them warmly and without judgment. Our goal is simply to understand where you are now and help you move forward positively.
What if I need a lot of treatment?
If significant treatment is identified, we will discuss all your options clearly and honestly, including the priority order of any work and ways to phase treatment to suit your budget and circumstances. There is never any pressure to proceed with everything at once.
Do I need a referral to become a new patient?
No referral is needed. Simply contact us to book your new patient consultation and we will be delighted to welcome you to Kingswood Parks Dental Clinic.
Can I bring a friend or family member with me?
Absolutely. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member to your appointment for support, particularly if you feel anxious. Please let us know when you book so we can ensure the room is set up appropriately.
