Woodside Crescent Dental Practice Glasgow - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you accept new NHS patients?
YES! All of the dentists in the practice are registering new NHS
patients.

What is private dentistry?
Some items of treatment are not available at all under the NHS, for
example tooth whitening and implants. Other times being treated on
a private basis allows your dentist to spend more time on each
treatment and use the best possible materials and equipment.

What is the Woodside Crescent Dental Plan?
The plan allows patients to pay a fixed monthly amount that will
cover all routine treatment whenever it is required. The treatment is
provided to the highest private standard. This will inclulde visits to
our hygienist, depending on your need. The plan also includes an
insurance element that will cover emergencies when you are away
from Glasgow.

How can I register with the practice?
To register with the practice you can telephone 0141 332 4622 and
our staff will be happy to help. We need to take some personal
details from you, so emailing is not really the best option.

How much will my treatment cost?
We always provide patients with a written estimate for treatment at
their check-up appointment and discuss the available options to you
in plain language. You are under no obligation.

Why do you need a deposit sometimes?
To protect the practice from patients failing to attend, particularly
new patients with whom we have no experience, we sometimes take
a small deposit which is fully refundable if no appointments are
missed or cancelled at short notice.

Why do you charge for missing appointments?
When a patient does not attend for their appointment the practice is
losing money. To protect ourselves from this, like all dental
practices, we may charge an appropriate fee for missing or
cancelling an appointment at short notice. Our policy is that we will
require the charge to be paid prior to making another appointment.

What types of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, cheque (with a valid supporting guarantee card),
and most credit cards including American Express.
