Accepting patients and providing NHS services.
The current NHS dental contract limits us to the number of treatments we can provide each year. Sometimes we cannot offer services to new patients or patients who have not received treatment from the practice in the previous two years. We also reserve the right to refuse to treat patients who miss appointments or cancel at very short notice.
If we cannot offer you an appointment, NHS Sheffield 0845 4647 can help you find a dentist locally.
Emergencies
For swelling, bleeding, acute pain, and tooth accidents, telephone the practice for an emergency appointment during opening hours.
Out of Hours
When we are closed, the dental emergency service provided by NHS Sheffield is Primecare telephone 0300 330 1348.
Urgent Appointments
For lost crowns and fillings, broken dentures etc we will try and find you an appointment as quickly as possible. Contact us during office hours.
Other health service enquires contact NHS DIRECTÂ Tel: 111 or NHS Direct online www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
Once you have seen one of our dentists, any further appointments will usually be scheduled with the same dentist. Should you wish to see another dentist within the practice, speak to our reception staff. Please note, however, that at certain times, individual dentists may not be able to offer you treatment. There are certain types of dental treatment, usually cosmetic, that we do not offer via the NHS service. These treatments will be discussed with you, and you will be given cost details.

Payment
The central government sets charges, which assumes that all charges are collected in advance. We have no objections to our patients wishing to pay on each visit, but the last appointment must make all payments.
Cash, debit or credit cards are preferred. We offer credit facilities for private treatment options (see reception for details).
