So, you’ve looked up “private dentist Uxbridge” and you’ve found Denpure (hello and nice to meet you!) If you’re in the process of choosing a private dentist, we know what you’re looking for. As well as excellent dental care (which should be a given), we understand how important transparency, honesty and empathy are to patients.
We wanted to set out the ins and outs of our core values here at Denpure, to help you better understand our vision for your well-being.
There is absolutely no space for salesy tactics in the world of healthcare, and to try and “sell” our patients a certain treatment would be tantamount to abusing our duty of care.
We will always make you aware of the clinical limitations of any given treatment, and whilst we have ways to ensure predictable treatment outcomes, we will never promise you the earth.
If you aren’t a good fit for a given treatment, we will explore alternative treatment options, or guide your oral health to a stage where your desired treatment becomes possible. For example, many patients with low jawbone density are not suited to implant-based treatments. However, following a bone regeneration procedure such as a bone graft or a sinus lift, we can start to revisit your suitability for treatment.
There is great variation as to what’s involved dental treatment to dental treatment.
If you’re considering 2 or 3 treatments, and you’re unsure which suits you best, we will outline exactly what’s involved, and how the process will affect your teeth.
Whilst some patients don’t mind undergoing multi-step treatments, others may be seeking the swiftest solution, or the least invasive.
We will ask you several questions about your lifestyle, to help you come to a decision. For example, patients seeking teeth-straightening treatment may wish to consider the at-home maintenance involved. Meanwhile, patients who would like dental implants will need to weigh up whether or not they are happy to undergo a surgical process to have the implant placed.
One of the key ways to help our patients (nervous patients in particular), is to make sure they are prepared for treatment – this means clinically prepared and emotionally prepared.
Clinically preparing patients for treatment
This involves asking patients to disclose relevant details about their medical history prior to a treatment to ensure they are clinically suitable. For example, we recommend that pregnant patients have their treatment in the second trimester, as they may struggle to lie comfortably in the dentist’s chair during their third trimester.
Emotionally preparing patients for treatment
Making sure patients are emotionally settled before and during their treatment is just as important as preparing them clinically.
This involves:
We understand the effort it can take to come in for a dentist or hygienist visit, particularly for those with busy and challenging lives.
We want to make sure you feel that you’re getting something out of every visit you attend. Even during your routine check-ups, we will strive to send you away with constructive lifestyle and clinical advice designed to better protect your oral health.
Our practice has been specially designed to maximise natural light, and our reception team will always greet you with a warm and welcoming smile. There’s no reason why visits to the dentist can’t be a pleasant experience!
Communicating clearly and efficiently with our patients is incredibly important to us. Without a clear line of communication with you at every stage of your treatment process, building mutual trust and respect is simply not possible.
If you have opted for a multi-step treatment such as dental implants or Invisalign (for example), we will make sure you have a point of contact at all times.
We take the aftercare step of any treatment very seriously and encourage you to get in touch if anything feels amiss after a given procedure. Remember that when it comes to your health, there’s no such thing as a silly question!
We understand how important transparency is to our patients. Clear information and honesty are in our DNA, and we are continuously revising our service and results, to ensure every aspect of the practice runs smoothly.
