At Hanwell Smiles, your dental journey begins with a warm welcome and a thorough introduction to our care. Our New Patient Check-Up is more than just a routine exam — it’s an opportunity to get to know you, understand your needs, and tailor a plan that supports your oral and overall health.
We take the time to listen, examine, and explain everything clearly, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident from day one.
We understand that visiting a new dentist can feel daunting, so we make your comfort our priority. Our team is friendly, gentle, and patient-focused. You’ll never feel rushed, judged, or left in the dark.
Whether you’re new to the area, returning to dental care after a break, or just looking for a practice that truly cares, we’re here for you.
A new patient checkup typically involves a full dental examination, medical history review, X-rays if required, and a discussion about your oral health needs.
On average, a new patient checkup lasts between 30–60 minutes, depending on whether X-rays or additional assessments are needed.
Yes, please bring a list of any medications you are taking and any relevant medical information. If you have dental records or recent X-rays, bring those too.
In most cases, a cleaning can be arranged during your first visit if time allows. Otherwise, it will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing.
The fee for a New Patient Check-Up is listed on our Fees page, and we’ll always confirm any costs before your visit — no surprises.
