New Patients

Whether you are choosing a new dentist for good or just need one thing sorted, you are welcome here.

A warm welcome

A warm welcome to Waterside

Choosing a new dentist is a bigger decision than it sounds, especially if your last few visits have not been happy ones. We know that, and we do not take it lightly.
We are a small private practice in Hythe, and that is on purpose. You will see the same familiar faces every time you come in, and we take the time to get to know you so your care fits around what you actually want. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is done until you understand it and agree to it.
If you are nervous, you are in the right place. A lot of our patients come to us after a long time away, and looking after nervous patients is the part of the job we care about most.
What Your First Examination Includes:
  • A full check of your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues, including an oral cancer check.
  • Any X-rays you need on the day.
  • A full set of photos, so you can see your mouth the way we do.
  • A written, tailor-made treatment plan setting out your options, timescales, and exact costs.

What to expect on your first visit

What to Expect on the Day

01

We talk first

Before looking in your mouth, we ask what brought you in and what you want out of your visit. If you are anxious, tell us so we can adjust how we do things.

02

A proper examination

We perform a full check of your teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues, and oral cancer check.

03

X-rays and photos

We take necessary X-rays and photos and put them on screen to explain what we find in plain words.

04

A written plan and price

You leave with a treatment plan listing every option, timescale, and exact cost so you can decide in your own time.

If you are nervous

If You Are Nervous, Start Here.

Dentistry has a reputation for being painful or unpleasant, but we have spent a long time making sure that is not the case here.
We use The Wand, which numbs you without the big needle, sting, or soreness. We also keep appointments longer so nothing feels rushed, offer hot drinks, welcome you to bring someone with you, and provide oral or drip sedation if required.
Just need one treatment?

Happy With Your Dentist,
but Need One Thing Done?

You do not have to move practice to see us. If you are looking for a clinician to carry out a single treatment while staying registered with your current dentist, we can help.
We also treat emergencies for patients not registered with us. If you are in pain, call the practice as early in the day as possible and we will do our best to see you the same day.
How to become a patient

How to Register

Becoming a patient is simple, and there is no online form to wrestle with. Registration is handled by the practice, so all you need to do is get in touch and the team will take it from there.
Call us on 023 8084 3318 or pop into the practice at 40 Langdown Lawn, Hythe. We will register you and book your first examination at a time that suits you, including an evening appointment on a Monday or a Saturday morning if that is easier.
