New patient Consultation

At Larkham House, our goal is to provide high quality, effective, and compassionate dental care in a safe, regulated environment. Whether you feel anxious or just want clear, honest advice, we’ll listen to your concerns and personalise every step.

At your new patient consultation, your dentist will gather information about you.  They then will discuss and explain treatment options and solutions to provide you with a bespoke treatment plan for your journey to a lifetime of healthy teeth, gums and mouth.

For simple routine checks, the hygienist or filings may be all that is needed. For more complex issues, further tests and investigations may be carried out before a treatment plan is agreed upon with you. Prior to any treatment commencing you will receive a written plan and cost estimates.

At Larkham House we treat all our patients with dignity, understanding and respect. We are equipped to deal with treatment ranging from general dentistry to more advanced procedures. We also put in any consideration any pain or anxiety you may experience.

What to expect at your first appointment

  • You’ll begin with a Medical History & Patient Form to help us understand your background and any conditions.
  • Your dentist or therapist will discuss your general health, dental history, and any aesthetic or functional goals.
  • A thorough examination follows — teeth, gums, face, neck, including an oral cancer screening.
  • To dig deeper, we may take X-rays and intraoral photographs, which will help us diagnose hidden issues.
  • Once everything is reviewed, we’ll go through recommended treatment options, estimate costs, and provide a written plan before any work begins.

Why are regular dental check-ups important?

Early Detection of Oral Cancer

Your dentist or therapist is highly trained to recognise these signs and symptoms of Oral cancer, and with regular dental check-ups, the likelihood of catching oral cancer in time is dramatically higher.

Prevent plaque, Tartar, and Dental Cavities

There are still small areas in the mouth that are missed by regular brushing and flossing. When plaque builds up it becomes hard turning into tartar which is difficult to remove without a hygienist’s help and could lead to cavities.

We spot problems before they get worse

Our clinicians check for cavities or other problems. Tooth decay is easier to treat at its earliest stages.

You establish good communication between you and your dentist

We want to ensure that you have a healthy smile. Communication is key to a successful partnership, so speak with your dentist about your concerns, and we will come up with a plan to make you as comfortable as possible.

Maintain Overall Health

Poor dental hygiene can lead to other diseases and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and endocarditis (the infection of the heart lining. ) Gum disease has also been linked to low birth weight and premature birth.

Set an example to your children

Children’s dentistry is so important. Children should start seeing a dentist as soon as they have their first tooth. We advise you to bring them into your appointments so that they can get used to the dental surgery.
