Our Philosophy
We pride ourselves in providing World Class, Modern, Innovative, Quality Dentistry
We aim to provide quality, preventative dental care in friendly and safe surroundings giving you an exceptional experience every time.
WIth our open, honest and completely transparent ethos, along with our on-going continuity of care, many of our new patients are word of mouth recommendations from our existing patients. If you are happy with the way we look after you then we just ask that you let other people know about us.
We make sure that you are informed at every step, and work with you to achieve what you desire. Trust is an important theme at our practice and if you place your trust in us, you can trust us to deliver what we said we would do. We are extremely patient driven and are passionate about creating an experience like no other. Combined with exceptional clinical skills, we feel we offer a service to our patients that is second to none.
CONTACTLESS Patient Journey
Our practice operates on an appointment-only basis to ensure patients have time reserved exclusively for them. We run to time - we always make every effort to see patients precisely on time and 96% of our patients are seen within 10 minutes of their appointment time.
Our dental examinations are extensive and thorough, allowing us to determine the true level of your oral health.
Our team of experts will discuss any current dental problems you may be experiencing and conduct a thorough check.
We may use a variety of different investigative procedures to form accurate diagnoses and communicate any findings with you in a simple, informative manner.
We will also explain how you can minimise the need for dental treatment through regular preventative care and education. If necessary, we may recommend maintenance such as root canals, fillings, crowns and bridges. A comprehensive range of general and cosmetic dental treatment is available for patients. In addition, referrals can be arranged elsewhere locally for treatment not available on the premises.
All administrative processes are contactless from appointment booking to viewing treatment plans 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
“Visited for the first time yesterday since Mr Wrigley left, a warm welcome and thank you to Kartik, his lovely wife and as always, the super staff. I would highly recommend the practice and wish them all the best for the future.”
