Welcoming New Patients today

We believe in transparency and value. Our new patient appointments are designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of your oral health, with no pressure, and plenty of time to ask questions. Our adult new patient exam is only £74.

Your first appointment includes:

  • Screening radiographs: This allow us to reveal any hidden dental problems, review past dental work and forms a foundation for your treatment plan.
  • OPG radiograph (if clinically required): This gives us a panoramic view, and offers more diagnostic value for problem areas.
  • Itero digital scan: A non-invasive, radiation-free way to capture a highly detailed 3D image of your teeth, gums, and bite. We use this as part of a comprehensive initial assessment, especially when planning cosmetic, restorative, or orthodontic treatments.
  • Oral cancer screening: This is a non-invasive, quick, and painless process, typically taking just a few minutes.
  • Periodontal health screening: Assesses the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.

“The team here are incredibly helpful and kind. From the receptionist who always greets you with a smile and a chat to the dentists. I always feel cared for” (August 2025)

I finished orthodontic treatment with HW Associates last year and have been meaning to leave a positive review for a while. Not only did Ahmed work serious wonders on my underbite, which was a big insecurity of mine, but the team provided excellent service throughout the 2+ years of the treatment. They are the definition of kind, caring service and I want to say a big thank you to Ahmed, Silvia and the rest of the team that made it possible for me to get my smile back! :)

Malcolm Vallerius

Very professional, extremely personable. Despite the daunting prospect of a deep filling, the experience was handled with care and understanding. Every step of the procedure was explained fully and I would warmly recommend this dental practice.

Ankit Toshniwal

Had my tooth extraction and got an implant placed as well. The only painful bit was the tooth extraction (pain lasted a week). The implant process was simple and easy. I was scared at first proceeding with the implant thinking it’ll be painful but Dr. Ghent was quite professional and explained the process very thoroughly. It was all in my head and the process was over without any pains (only some soreness). Thank you for the amazing service.

What treatments do dental hygienists give?

Dental hygienists provide a range of preventive and therapeutic dental and oral health treatments. As well as deep dental cleans, they may also carry out oral cancer screenings, sealant application and X-rays. They also provide personalised advice on oral and dental hygiene to match the patient’s particular needs, as well as advice on oral hygiene practices and recommendations on brushing techniques, flossing and other cleaning methods.

Service list

  • Dental Cleanings: Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar, which helps prevent gum disease and cavities.
  • Airflow EMS therapy: A hygiene treatment that removes persistent stains on your teeth, plaque and discolouration using a combination of water, compressed air and fine powder particles.
  • Gum disease treatment: Providing treatment and advice for gum problems, including gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Fluoride treatments: Applying fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.
  • Dental sealants: Applying dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of molars from decay.
  • Screening for Oral Cancer: Conducting examinations to identify potential signs of oral cancer and referring patients for further evaluation if necessary.


Do dental hygienists work with dentists?

Your dentist and dental hygienist work in collaboration as part of the dental healthcare team. While your hygienists can perform a number of dental and oral procedures independently, they work closely with dentists to provide comprehensive dental care to patients. Dental hygienists specialise in preventive care, helping to reduce the need for further dental treatment.

How often should you see a dental hygienist?

For most people, a visit to the dental hygienist to help ensure fresh breath from routine cleaning once every six months is advised. Some people with more specific or complex oral and dental care needs may require more frequent visits for a hygienist deep clean and other treatments.

When you visit the dentist for the first time as a new patient they will draw up a treatment plan that advises on the recommended frequency of hygienist visits.
