Dentist in Richmond

Why do people change their dentist?

Some patients change their dentist simply because they have moved home or work and need to find a new practice that is convenient for them.


Some have had a negative experience at their previous dentist. If this is the case for you, we can talk through the problem with your previous care. This is a good way to ensure that the problem is not repeated and that your needs are met.


Finally, some patients want a treatment that may not be available at their regular dentist. In these case, they can either seek a suitable practice themselves or they may be referred by their current dentist with a view to returning to them after the procedure that they want is complete.


What does Sheen Dental do to make new patients feel welcome?

At the dentist in Richmond, we know that your experience starts before you walk through the door. We respond to queries and book appointments promptly and let you know all you need to for a smooth visit the first time that you come. We tell you about any documentation you need to bring and what to expect from your first visit.


When you arrive, you will be greeted by our friendly reception staff who will take all the information they need to register you. You will then be called through to your appointment as soon as possible.


The dentist in Richmond will check all areas of your teeth and mouth during your first visit. They will be looking at the condition of your teeth and ensuring you have no current issues. Even if you have not been to the dentist for a while, you do not need to worry about this process. Your dentist is not there to judge, and they will let you know if they find anything that needs a closer look.
