New to Bourne Valley? Here's what to expect

Finding a new dentist shouldn't be a chore — and it certainly shouldn't be something you put off. Whether you've moved to the area, been posted to Tidworth Camp, or simply haven't been seen in a while, our team will take the time to understand where you're starting from.

Your first appointment is unhurried. We'll look at your teeth, gums and bite, explain what we find in plain English, and set out your options and costs in writing before anything is booked. No pressure, no jargon, and no lectures about how long it's been.

We welcome new patients from Tidworth, Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all just a short drive from our practice on Station Road.

What happens at your first appointment?

A step-by-step guide to joining the practice

01

Getting to know you

We'll go through a short medical and dental history, then talk about what's brought you in — a general check-up, a specific worry, or a smile you'd like to change.

02

A thorough examination

Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, including a routine oral health screening. X-rays or photographs may be taken if they'd help build a fuller picture.

03

Your options, explained clearly

We'll talk you through what we've found and set out your choices, along with the costs of each. You'll leave with a written treatment plan — nothing is started on the day without your say-so.

04

Your ongoing care

We'll book any treatment you decide to go ahead with, arrange a hygiene appointment if needed, and set your recall interval so future check-ups are easy to keep on top of.

FAQs

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. We're currently welcoming new [NHS AND/OR PRIVATE] patients of all ages. Call the practice or use our online form and we'll find you an appointment.

How do I register with the practice?

Simply get in touch to book your first appointment. We'll send you a short registration and medical history form to complete beforehand, which saves time on the day.

I'm nervous about visiting the dentist. Can you help?

Yes, and you're far from alone. Let us know when you book and we'll allow extra time, talk you through everything before we start, and stop whenever you ask.

Do you see children?

We do. Children can be seen from as soon as their first teeth come through, and early visits are the best way to build confidence for later on.

Yes. If you're in pain or have had an accident, call us as early in the day as possible and we'll do our best to fit you in.

How can I spread the cost of treatment?
