New Patients

Joining Diamond Court 

Choosing a new dentist is a personal decision, and registering can feel like a big step — particularly if it's been a while since your last visit, or if past experiences have made you anxious. Whatever brings you to us, you can expect a thorough first examination, clear and honest advice, and no judgement about the past.

Your new-patient consultation

A proper, unhurried assessment: teeth, gums, jaw joints, soft tissues, oral cancer screen, and the X-rays needed to see what's happening beneath the surface. Most importantly: we listen. What do you want from your mouth and smile? Current fees are in our price list.

Your personal care plan

Everything explained, every option costed in writing, nothing decided without you. Some patients need a lot; many need remarkably little. Either way, you'll know exactly where you stand.

For nervous patients

Dental anxiety is common — and we can help

Dental anxiety is one of the most common fears in Britain, and our team treats it as a clinical fact to work with, not a quirk to push past.

  • Tell us when you book — we'll allow extra time
  • A stop signal agreed up front that puts you in control
  • Everything explained before it happens, never during
  • We go at your pace — even if the first visit is just a look and a chat

Patient Experience

Care that feels personal

Patients often describe the team as friendly, welcoming and quick to help when they need support — from routine appointments to urgent dental concerns.

  • Many thanks for the quick and considerate action yesterday after my tooth problem the day before. I left the premises far happier than I entered thanks to the professional and dare I say jolly attitude of staff who turned what was to be a miserable day into a pleasant experience. Friendly and competent staff, modern techniques and an up to date philosophy on treatment making the practice first class.

    RP

  • Modern efficient practice. Very accommodating and careful treatment.

  • I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all staff at Diamond Court Dental Practice for looking after me so well when I developed a dental abscess while on holiday last week. Your excellent care stopped my problem ruining our holiday — thank you all so much!

Common questions

We’re not taking on new NHS patients at the moment — Diamond Court is largely a private practice, and many of our patients spread the cost of routine care with a Denplan plan. We do still provide NHS treatment for some existing patients; reception can tell you more.

Yes — Denplan plans cover routine care for a monthly amount, and Denplan Essentials members get 10% off treatment.

Reception will offer the earliest suitable slot; genuine emergencies are prioritised the same day wherever possible.

Not at all — it’s one of the most common situations we see. Your first visit is about planning the way forward, not going over the past.
