FAQs

We know that visiting the dentist isn't always an experience people enjoy, and that you may have questions you'd like answered before your visit. Below are some of the questions we're asked most often.

What separates you from other dental practices?

Dental Solutions is a private dental practice built around personalised patient care. We aim to provide modern, comfortable treatment in a relaxed, professional environment, and we take the time to get to know our patients properly, so you're treated as a person, not just an appointment.

What solutions can you offer?

We can offer a full spectrum of dental care including preventative, conservative, endodontic, cosmetic, surgical and implant dentistry. We operate a zero-amalgam policy, so only provide tooth-coloured fillings.

How long have you been practicing?

Our principal dentist, Michael Hicks, leads a team with years of combined experience across general, cosmetic and implant dentistry. You can read more about our team on our About Us page.

Are you a private or NHS dentist?

Dental Solutions is a private dental practice.

What are the likely costs of my treatment?

Many factors need to be taken into account before a fee can be determined. We aim to keep our fees fair, particularly given our level of experience in our specialist areas. We do offer dental plans, which provide a way to pay monthly for routine care, see our Fees & Finance page.

How do I prevent dental problems in the future?

We recommend regular check-ups every 6 months. The advantage for you is that it should reduce the need for more expensive treatment in the future.

Can children attend your practice?

We are happy to provide for the dental needs of the whole family!

Will it hurt?

We know that not everyone enjoys coming to the dentist. We're happy for you to read some of the Recommendations we've received from patients, which reflect how comfortable we aim to make every visit. We do our best to make every appointment as low-pressure and pleasant as possible, and we're happy to talk through any concerns you have beforehand.
