New patients
Your first visit, start to finish.
A new patient assessment at Widegate House is a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth with a digital scan and photographs, followed by a clear written plan. It costs £125, with X-rays at £30 each where needed. We are under three minutes from Liverpool Street station.
01
Book
Book online, call or WhatsApp. You will receive a short medical history form to complete before you arrive, so the appointment is spent on you and not on paperwork.
02
Talk
We start with what brought you in: a problem, a goal or simply a check-up that is overdue. Tell us if you are nervous. It changes how we do things, and it is more common than you think.
03
Examine
Teeth, gums, soft tissues and bite are checked carefully. We take a digital scan and photographs, and X-rays only where they are clinically justified.
04
See it on screen
Your scan and photographs go up on screen and we walk you through what we have found. You see what we see.
05
Leave with a plan
You receive a written plan with options and exact fees. If something simple can be treated there and then, and you would like it done, we will often do it the same day.

Yes. You can book directly with our hygienist and therapist, Sarah Waters, online.
I have not been to a dentist for years. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. Many new patients tell us the same. We will take it at your pace, and if anxiety has kept you away, ask us about sedation.
