FAQs

  • Appointment cancellations

    If you are unable to attend your appointment, please notify the practice either by telephone or email as soon as possible so that your appointment can be allocated to someone else. 48 hours’ notice of your cancellation is required.

    There is a full charge of the apointment fee for missed or late cancelled appointments.

  • Failure to attend

    We understand that circumstances arise that may prevent you from attending your appointment and informing us. Our practice policy in relation to failure to attend appointments allows for three missed appointments. We will be unable to see patients who fail to attend 3 of their appointments. If you do not give at least 48 hours notice of cancellation for a private treatment appointment, you may be charged. If you arrive late for your appointment you may not be seen. If you have informed the practice that you may be late, we will try to accommodate you. However, you still may not be able to be seen, as this will be at the discretion of the clinician.

  • Your rights as a patient

    We will treat all of our patients equally, with dignity and respect. We will provide to our patients, during opening hours, all proper and necessary dental care and treatment which includes mandatory services and urgent treatment. The care provided will be any that our dental practitioners undertake and that which the patient is willing to undergo. All patients are entitled to a written treatment plan and treatment that is clinically necessary and in the patient’s best interests. Patients in need of referral will be referred to appropriate services.

  • Confidentiality & patient records

    Our practice operates a confidentiality policy. A copy of our confidentiality policy is available on request. All patient information is recorded and stored securely. Only designated members of our dental team and the PCT have access to your records. A court order can be issued if the police or social services are required to see your private information. NHS Business Services Authority and NHS Counter Fraud department may also have access to patient information.


    All patients have access rights to their personal information under the Data Protection Act. To obtain copies of your information that the practice holds, please contact the practice in writing. You may wish to view your original documents, or photocopies can be taken; please speak to a member of the team for further information.

  • Violent and verbally abusive patients

    We expect a safe environment for both our patients and staff members. Where a patient has committed an act of violence or behaved in such a way that any person has feared for their safety, we will report the incident to the police and notify the NHS that we will no longer provide services to that patient.

  • Patients who refuse to pay dental charges

    We may refuse to begin treatment or cease existing treatment if a patient refuses to pay the appropriate charge.

  • Repeated cancellations or non-attendance

    Under the NHS system introduced by the Government on 1st April 2006, any patients failing to attend or cancelling three appointments with less than 48 hours notice or not settling their account on time may not be offered further appointments.


    This also applies to any patient who has not attended the surgery in the past 24 months.


    Please note that patients who fail to attend their initial appointment (registration/examination appointment) may not be re-booked.
