We look forward to welcoming you to Pembroke Dental Centre.
On your first visit to us, we would ask you to arrive at the
practice 10 minutes before your appointment time; this is so you
can complete a medical and dental questionnaire (PDF). Please
rest assured that all information you provide is strictly
confidential.
You will be called through to meet your Dentist and his/her
dental surgery assistant. We take the time to discuss any dental
problems you are having and listen to your concerns. Your
dentist will also talk through your medical form, discussing any
relevant issues.
Once we have completed this, we will carry out a thorough dental
examination and oral cancer screening, checking your teeth, gums
and surrounding tissues. We use the latest technology such as
low dose digital radiography and intra oral cameras, which allow
us to demonstrate to you any problem areas and help you
understand treatments available to you. Note: The Dental Surgery
uses Digital x-rays, which reduce radiation by up to 90%.

It is very important to us that you understand and are
involved in the diagnosis and treatment planning. We will give
you a range of treatment options for consideration. We work with
you to ensure you are fully informed and thus can make the
appropriate choices for your treatment plan under our clinical
guidance. We are very open and clear about the cost of proposed
treatment, and give every patient a detailed treatment plan with
a written estimate of costs upon request.
In complex cases we may need to gather more detailed information
and involve other members of our dental team within the relevant
specialty. Our purpose is to distinguish ourselves as a surgery
that provides comprehensive dentistry of the very highest
quality. We state that we work for our patients, and that at all
times they will be treated with dignity, understanding and
respect. In doing this every member of our team feels valued and
respected..
