Question 1

Why is my check up not 6 monthly anymore?

Accepted Answer

We want to practice the best evidence based-dentistry and offer the best service to our patients.  This means we recommend check-ups based upon every patient's individual needs.  Some patients have lots of problems or are at risk of developing problems so we recognise that we need to see these people more often; every 6 months.  Some patients have really healthy mouths with very little risk of problems emerging so we don't need to see these as often; possibly not for every 2 years or so.  If your dentist says you don't need to come back for 12 months or more it means you're doing really well!  It also means we can see other patients who may be in greater need of our support!

Question 2

Are you accepting new NHS patients?

Accepted Answer

We are currently signed up the Greater Manchester access scheme. At the start of every month we open our books to new patients;  if you would like to join as an NHS patient contact the practice at 9.30am on the first day of the month. Be warned;  we're popular!

Question 3

Do you offer cosmetic treatments at your practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you are registered, then you can always request a consultation appointment for your cosmetic needs.  We charge £95 for a new patient private consultation! Call us on 0161 2051654 if you would like to explore treatment outside of the NHS.

Question 4

I'm not registered at your practice but I have a toothache and it's kept me awake all night, what can I do?"

Accepted Answer

Greater Manchester Urgent Dental Care Telephone 0333 332 3800
8AM-10PM 7 DAYS PER WEEK
 
# OUTSIDE OF THESE HOURSE PLEASE CALL NHS 111

Question 5

Why can I no longer get a scale and polish on the NHS?

Accepted Answer

NHS dental services are commissioned to treat disease.  If you don't have gum disease you don't need your teeth routinely cleaning.  As such we don't offer this to everyone as we once may have done.  If you like the feeling and cleanliness of a newly polished mouth but your gum health is otherwise good just ask and we can book you in with Elise for a private clean.
