Dental health assessment

At your first appointment with Hadleigh Dental Surgery you’ll receive a full dental health assessment. We like to find out as much as we can about you and your previous dental care. That way, we can offer you the best possible service and expertise.

During a thorough examination using photographs, x-rays and scans your dentist will check the health of your head, neck and inside your mouth. This will provide you with a complete understanding of the health of your mouth and teeth and allows us to recommend a personal dental health plan and recall routines best suited to your individual needs.

Before we begin, you’ll need to complete a medical history to ensure we can also fully cater to your medical needs.

Your dental health assessment will review:

  • Signs of tartar build up and decay
  • Identify any chips and cracks
  • Health of gums
  • Condition and functionality of any existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures
  • Identify any concerns with your bite
  • Jaw alignment and clicking
  • Signs of stress and teeth grinding
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Cosmetic restoration options

Our dentists are committed to providing you with high-quality dental care, using the latest equipment, materials, procedures, techniques and expert advice to offer you a complete insight into your dental health.

If you would like to book a dental health assessment with Hadleigh Dental Surgery or to find out more about what we could do for you, please give our team a call on 01473 823092.

Rachel is a great dentist and I trust her. The only thing I would change would be the music. If the music is for the patient , not the dentist, maybe ask them what they like and ask Alexa to play it.

I popped in after a visit to see a nurse/ doctor. They said I had an abscess. I went into the dental surgery to see if I could get an appointment with my dentist.They checked my details and said they would get back to me. A short while after getting home I received a call with an appointment the next day. Great service

Mr Patel is the best dentist I have had. He is courteous, friendly, competent, non-invasive and I have total confidence in him. We were a bit late for our appointment because of road closures and the surgery were very understanding and accommodating

The reception staff are very pleasant, I did not have to wait to book in. My dentist was calm, professional and gave all the time I needed to carry out the procedure properly even though it was tricky. She explained what was going on and how to care for myself afterwards and she was well assisted by the dental nurse.

Nice clean and tidy reception and waiting rooms. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Excellent hygienist and dentist. Can’t think of anything they could do to improve the experience, well done. So thankful to have such a great dental practice.

I have every confidence in Rachel Norris, after 15 years of treatment with her, I believe she is the best dentist you can have. Keep it up Rachel.
