Practice Philosophy
The practice was established in 1980. Our aim is
to offer the best in dental care to adults and their
children under private contract only.
All staff attend regular training sessions and seminars
so that the highest standards are maintained.
Patients are free to choose between paying fees for
treatment or joining an appropriate Denplan
scheme.
The Denplan system works extremely well, allows us
to provide you with the best in preventive care at
a reasonable cost and is a way of working that we
can recommend. Evidence that the quality of care we
offer you is of the highest standard. is in the fact
that we are a Denplan Excel Accredited Practice. This
means that Denplan complete a rigorous annual check
of administrative and clinical excellence. The
practice has maintained its Excel Accreditation constantly
since 2002. We are the only Excel Accredited Practice
in Kings Lynn and West Norfolk. Private fees
and the Denplan monthly contributions are set by the
practice according to guidelines published by the
General Dental Practitioners Association. To maintain
the best in quality of care we are constantly introducing
improvements and innovations in techniques and materials.
We
are mercury free and haven’t used amalgam (silver
fillings containing mercury) since 1994. When treatment
is needed which is beyond the scope of the practice
we make orthodontic referrals only to specialist orthodontists
and other referrals only to dentists who are on the
Specialist Register.
We are a preventive practice. There are
only two dental diseases; tooth decay and gum disease.
No one needs to suffer tooth decay and advice will
be given on how to prevent it which will work if accepted.
Gum disease is more complex but the best support and
advice will be offered.
When a dentist asks about your or your child’s
diet or oral hygiene habits, he or she is asking so
that any problems can be identified and the best advice
can be given, not to blame or criticise. Our objective
is to maintain health, function and appearance for
every patient using a minimum of intervention. Treatment
will be guided by each patient’s wishes and
no treatment will be undertaken without a full explanation
of that treatment, its cost and its consequences,
or without the patient’s informed consent. The
success of the treatment we offer is proportional
to the strength of the relationship we can build with
you. We hope to build this relationship by spending
as much time talking to each other as possible.
