Your first visit to our clinic in DLF Phase 2

What happens, step by step

1. We ask about your health, not just your teeth. Medical conditions, medicines, allergies and past dental experiences all change what is safe and sensible to do. It takes a few minutes and it matters.
2. You tell us what brought you in. A specific problem, a check-up you have been postponing, or something you would like to change about your smile. We listen before we look.
3. We examine your teeth, gums and bite. This includes a check of the soft tissues, which is how oral cancer is picked up early.
4. X-rays, only if they will change something. Decay between teeth and problems below the gum line are invisible to the eye. We take X-rays when they will affect the diagnosis, not routinely.
5. We explain what we found, in plain language. What is urgent, what can wait, and what is optional. If you would like to see it, we will show you.
6. You decide what happens next. We set out the options and the cost of each before anything is booked. Nothing is started without your agreement.

How long to allow

Around 30 to 45 minutes for a first visit. Come five minutes early if you can, so paperwork does not eat into your appointment. If you are in pain and need something done the same day, tell us when you book and we will plan for it.

What to bring

• Any previous X-rays, reports or dental records you have
• A list of medicines you take regularly
• Details of medical conditions, especially diabetes, heart conditions or blood thinners
• Your dental insurance details, if you have cover

If you have none of these, come anyway. It is not a barrier to being seen.

If you are anxious about the dentist

This is more common than most people admit, and we would much rather know. Tell us when you book and again when you arrive.

We will explain each step before it happens, agree a hand signal that means stop, and go at your pace. If you would prefer the first visit to be conversation and examination only, with no treatment whatsoever, that is a perfectly reasonable way to start, and it is often the right one.

Bringing a child

A first visit for a child is deliberately unhurried. It is often just a ride in the chair, counting teeth and getting comfortable with the surroundings. Nothing is forced.

Try to avoid words like “pain”, “injection” or “drill” beforehand, even reassuringly — children hear the noun, not the reassurance. Booking a morning appointment, when they are rested, usually goes better. More about children’s dentistry.

What it will cost

The consultation and examination fee is explained when you book, and any X-rays are charged separately. Before treatment begins you get the cost of the whole plan, not just the first appointment. Each treatment page on this site has a What it costs section with indicative ranges.
