We help you to achieve oral health

Dentistry has changed and is much more patient focussed. At Barnbrook, all members of our team take the time to listen to your needs and work with you to achieve better oral health. Our aim is to give you a healthy smile for life, in a friendly and relaxed environment. All dental disease, including decay and gum disease, is mostly preventable but can take time and effort to maintain. We adopt a preventive approach and our aim is to help you care for your teeth and gums, thus minimising future problems, decay and discomfort.

We investigate dental problems

At your new patient examination, your dentist will listen to and investigate any particular problems you have, carry out an examination of your mouth , teeth and gums including an oral cancer check. Any necessary x-rays will be taken and we will take a full medical history including any prescribed medication, as systemic illness or conditions or prescription drugs can affect your oral health. Conversely, gum or periodontal disease or poor oral health has been shown to have a direct link to other health issues, especially diabetes, heart disease, stroke and possibly Alzheimers. Your dentist will discuss the findings with you and give you an idea of your current level of oral health before advising you of your treatment options and costs and give you a written treatment plan, so that you can decide together on a treatment pathway. You will have an opportunity to address any concerns and can alter your chosen option at any time, except occasionally where treatment has been started and the alternative is no longer viable.

                                                           Excellent tooth cleaning

A preventive approach relies on your commitment to achieving good oral health through a good home care regime. You've already shown that your oral health is important to you by choosing our practice, as we are not the cheap alternative, however there is no substitute for good oral hygiene which avoids future problems, discomfort, treatment and the associated cost.

 After your initial examination and once you've chosen your subsequent treatment plan, you can choose how you're going to fund your ongoing dental care. You could continue on a fee per item basis, paying as you go or join either of our Denplan schemes which helps you budget for your dental care. We also have a small NHS commitment so we can see children and adult patients who are exempt from payment . For more information see the Denplan section in the bar above.

Your first visit

We advise that you arrive about 10 minutes earlier than your appointment time to ensure you have time to complete all the registration paperwork and your medical questionnaire. Leave yourself plenty of time for parking - we suggest using The Triangle carpark which is on the other side of Heavitree Road. If you wish you can print and complete the medical questionnaire and/or contact detail sheet by using the links below ( not available at present).
