- General and preventive dentistry — check-ups, fillings, hygiene and everyday care.

Alongside this, Dr Symm provides routine general dentistry — examinations, fillings, hygiene referrals, extractions — for patients who choose him as their regular dentist.
Treatments Dr Symm provides
What to expect at your first appointment
First appointments at Tower are intentionally unhurried. You will:
- Spend the first few minutes talking through what brought you in and what you would like to achieve, before any clinical examination starts.
- Have a full mouth examination, including the teeth, gums, soft tissues and bite. Photographs and X-rays are taken where clinically indicated.
- Receive a clear explanation of what was found, with images where helpful, and a written treatment plan with itemised costs.
- Have time to ask questions and take the plan away to consider. No treatment is started at the first visit unless you choose to.
If you are particularly anxious about dental appointments, please tell us when you book. We can extend the appointment length, offer a tour of the surgery first, and pace the visit to suit you. Longer appointments and breaks are available if needed.
