I don't like going to the dentist and am worried treatments will hurt?

All our dentists will try and make your visit as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. For those patients who are particularly anxious or who require prolonged or advanced treatment they can be treated, if suitable, under IV sedation, which will mean patients are fully unconscious when any treatment is taking place.

Can you do home visits?

Home visits can be arranged for patients who are unable to attend the practice although certain treatments may not be possible in the home environment.

How much will treatments cost?

At your time of consultation your dentist will give you a plan of treatment and the costs involved.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Torrington Dental practice is pleased to offer the Tarka Care Plan, which allows patients to pay a regular payment to cover check ups and other standard dental care. Two levels of cover are available and full details are available in reception.

In addition, we offer an interest free credit payment facility agreed with each patient on an individual basis. You can ask your dentist at the time of consultation for further details.

Are you a NHS or private dentist?

We offer both NHS and private treatments although many treatments are only available on a private basis.

Does teeth whitening make your teeth sensitive?

Tooth whitening can be a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. Some temporary sensitivity may be felt.

My teeth are very crooked but am I too old to have them straightened?

You are never too old to straighten your teeth! At the dental clinic we offer a full range of treatments including removable, functional and fixed appliances. We are also able to offer a 'state of the art' appliance called Inisalign. This is a system of clear removable appliance, which is barely visible.
