Questions patients ask

We can certainly help you with this. The practice wants our patients to have a stress-free experience and therefore offer a number of different payment options to help with the cost of dental care, including a 0% interest finance option and the Post House Dental Care plan, which also offers discounts on treatments.

If you wish to discuss these options, please contact us on +44 1932 731207 to book a free consultation with our Practice Manager.

We see a number of nervous patients at the practice. Many of these patients have had a bad dental experience, which means they have developed a fear of visiting the dentist. Other people fear pain or have simply heard about negative experiences from friends and family. A fear of injections or even a certain smell or sounds can also leave patients feeling anxious.

Post House Dental provides a calm, friendly and reassuring atmosphere and our dentists provide a gentle, pain free experience. We can use numbing gels before local anaesthetic is given to ensure the process is less stressful. Our dentists also use a range of advanced apparatus, including lasers and microscopes.

Patients are always welcome to visit the practice to meet the team or have a look around before their appointment. The initial assessment will be an opportunity to consult with the dentist about any fears you may have. If you feel unable to have treatment carried out at the practice due to anxiety, we may look into referring you for sedation or other alternatives.

As the main causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease, we concentrate on preventative care. This is about helping you to keep your mouth healthy, so that you keep your existing teeth for as long as possible, whilst preventing the need for dental treatment.

We offer maintenance plans to our patients, which involve interdental cleaning methods, advice on giving up smoking, oral care, diet etc. By adhering to the maintenance plans that our dentists, dental nurses and oral health educators offer, the oral health of patients will drastically improve. Patients gain a better knowledge of how to look after their teeth, therefore requiring less dental treatment in the future.

We advise all patients to visit us once every 6 months for routine visits to prevent any small problems getting bigger and potentially worse. Even patients without teeth can benefit enormously from regular dental visits, as appointments enable cancers and other mouth related illnesses to be identified and dealt with at an early stage.
