Your first visit is all about getting to know you and your dental health. We'll start with a thorough examination that includes digital X-rays, a comprehensive oral health assessment, and a discussion about your dental goals and concerns. This initial appointment typically takes about 90 minutes, giving us plenty of time to address any questions you might have.

Before your appointment, you'll need to complete some paperwork. This includes your medical history, NHS or private dental information, and consent forms. You can download these forms from our website or arrive 15 minutes early to complete them in our comfortable waiting area. Don't forget to bring your ID, NHS number if applicable, and a list of any medications you're currently taking.

We understand that dental anxiety is real and affects many patients. That's why we've designed our practice with your comfort in mind. From our calming waiting area to our gentle approach to treatment, we're here to ensure you feel relaxed and confident throughout your visit.

Our team is trained to work with patients of all ages and comfort levels. If you experience anxiety, please let us know before your appointment so we can make special arrangements. We offer various comfort options including noise-canceling headphones, blankets, and even sedation options for those who need them.

We offer both NHS and private dental care options to suit your needs and budget. Our team will work with you to understand your preferences and create a treatment plan that fits your situation. We also offer flexible payment plans and membership options for private treatments, providing excellent value for money.

After your first visit, we'll create a personalised treatment plan based on your oral health needs and goals. This plan will outline any necessary treatments, their costs, and a timeline for completion. We'll also schedule your next cleaning appointment, typically six months from your first visit.

We believe that excellent dental care is a partnership between our team and our patients. By following our recommendations for home care and maintaining regular appointments, you'll be well on your way to achieving and maintaining optimal oral health.

Your journey to a healthier, more beautiful smile starts here in Manchester. We're excited to welcome you to the Gartside Street Dental Lounge family and look forward to helping you achieve your dental health goals.
