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 about what brought you in. You will also say what you would like to achieve. This happens 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.
- Get a clear explanation of what we found, with images where they help. You also get 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 feel very anxious about dental appointments, please tell us when you book. You can have a longer appointment. You can be shown round the surgery first. And you set the pace of the visit. Longer appointments and breaks are available if you need them.
