Question 5

What happens at an emergency appointment?

Accepted Answer

We will discuss your symptoms, examine your teeth and gums and, where clinically necessary, take an X-ray to help identify the cause of the problem. We will then explain the appropriate treatment and next steps.

Question 6

Do you offer dental membership plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our dental membership plans make it easier to budget for routine dental care with regular monthly Direct Debit payments. Choose from Essentials Plan A (£22.53 per month), Essentials Plan B (£35.00 per month), Essentials Plan C (£12.25 per month) or Essentials Plan D (£18.67 per month), based on the level of routine care you need. To join, contact our reception team by phone or speak to us when you visit the practice. An initial administration fee of £8.00 is collected with the first month’s dental plan payment. Terms and conditions apply.

Question 7

Can I spread the cost of my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Finance is available through Medenta and V12 Retail Finance to help you spread the cost of your dental treatment. Credit facilities are subject to status and affordability checks and are only available to UK residents over the age of 18. Minimum and maximum spend applies. Terms and conditions apply.

Question 8

Is dental implant treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Implant placement is carried out using appropriate local anaesthesia. Some tenderness, swelling or discomfort may occur after the procedure as the tissues recover. Your dental team will provide aftercare instructions and advise you about managing any expected discomfort. If you are particularly anxious about dental treatment, conscious dental sedation may also be discussed where appropriate. Dental sedation consultations are free.

Question 9

Will I be unconscious during conscious dental sedation?

Accepted Answer

No. Conscious dental sedation is intended to help you feel deeply relaxed while remaining conscious. You may feel sleepy and less aware of your surroundings, but you should remain able to communicate with the dental team. Your sedationist will explain the expected effects during your consultation.

Question 10

Do I need to see a dentist before getting clear aligners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An assessment is important before orthodontic treatment begins. Your dentist needs to check your teeth and gums, assess your bite and determine whether clear aligners are appropriate for your orthodontic needs. At GreenTree Dental & Implant Clinic, you can currently arrange a free orthodontic consultation to discuss your options.

Question 11

Is tooth extraction always necessary when a tooth is painful?

Accepted Answer

No. Tooth pain can have several causes, and extraction is not automatically required. Your dentist will need to examine the tooth and may recommend further assessment or an X-ray to understand the problem. Depending on the condition of the tooth, treatment such as restoration or root canal treatment may sometimes be considered instead. If the tooth cannot be appropriately treated or restored, extraction may be discussed as one option.
