Fees correct as of March 2025

Appointments Over 1 Hour £120 Per Hour

We aim to provide all of our patients with the best possible service, in order for us to achieve this we need your co-operation. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please make every effort to cancel it well in advance so that it may be offered to someone else. Non attendance and cancellations at short notice deprives patients of essential dental services. A common reason for dentists running late Is that some patients do not attend on time, please note, we may not be able to see you if you are late for your appointment.

To avoid the costs of missed appointments, or appointments cancelled at short notice being passed on to our patients, we must charge for unused time where a patient fails to attend or cancels without reasonable notice. Failure to attend for appointments will result in charges of £120 per hour being made for the lost appointment time. Please give a minimum of 2 working days’ notice should you not be able to attend any of your appointments.

For dental implants, sedation and long appointments, we require 1 weeks’ notice for cancellations. Late cancellation charges will apply if an appointment is cancelled within the notice period stated above and we are unable to fill the time. In the event that some or all of the cancelled surgery time is used by another patient, cancellation charges will be reduced pro-rata. Cancellation charges will be made at a rate of £120.00 per hour (£2.00 per minute).

Patients who are unable to make their appointment because of illness should, where possible, contact the practice as soon as they are aware that they cannot attend. If you are unsure whether you can make it to an appointment, please contact us early to discuss the matter rather than leaving it to the last minute. Failing to notify us before the appointment time will usually result in a failure to attend charge being made unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Deposits are required for all new bookings and long appointments, these are also fully refundable if cancelled or rescheduled outside of our 2 working day cancellation period.

You can contact the practice by calling 02866 329222 or emailing [email protected]. Outside normal business hours please leave a message on the practice answering machine including your full name, date of birth, and the date and time of your appointment. Failure to attend your appointments could mean refusal of treatment by your dentist, and you may lose your place on our register. Only in very exceptional circumstance do the above rules not apply, but this is at the discretion of the treating Dentist, Practice Manager and Head Receptionist. This is to ensure fairness to our patients & staff.

Thank you,
