Here at Whitehouse Dental, we have a different approach to dental care. One where you, our patient, comes first.

What to expect when you become a patient of the practice

How do we look after our patients and your patient journey?

This is why you like us…

Emergencies

We will always see you in an Emergency: slots are left in the appointment book for emergencies.

Out of office

We are always on the end of a phone out of hours, too.

Patients come first

We look after our patients with honesty and integrity: we do the right thing and give our patients advice that is in their best interest. We always put patients’ needs and desires first.

Mindfulness

We are always mindful of our patient’s feelings when they are under our care.

Thankful

We are so thankful to our patients who recommend us all the time and champion our success.

Empathetic

We give patients with worries and concerns beyond their dental health time to discuss all health concerns and provide an empathetic approach to our dentistry.

“Our patients feel the difference when they attend our practice, we have an all important patient-clinician relationship that lasts for years and years, we provide a lifetime of good oral care.”
