Why Patients Travel From Rufford
Patients travelling from Rufford to Tower Dental typically come for treatments not easily found in smaller village practices — dental implants, porcelain veneers, composite bonding and Invisalign with a dedicated implant clinician, sedation options for anxious patients, and written treatment plans with 0% finance. The journey is straightforward: 24 miles along the A59, taking around 38 minutes outside of peak times. Most Rufford patients consolidate their travel by booking treatment alongside a routine check-up or hygiene visit, making the trip once every six months rather than more often.

What Rufford Patients Typically Come For
For patients from Rufford, the typical pattern is one consultation visit to plan treatment, then a small number of follow-up appointments timed around the treatment pathway. Composite bonding cases are often completed in a single longer appointment. Veneers usually require two appointments (preparation and fit), typically six weeks apart.
