If we were restricted by\u00a0NHS\u00a0charges,\u00a0the choices that we could offer would be severely limited.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Time<\/h3>\n<p>We always allow plenty of time for treating our patients.\u00a0 We want our patients to feel relaxed and cared for.\u00a0 We don\u2019t want to carry out\u00a0treatments\u00a0at a rushed pace.\u00a0 We also need time to explain all options clearly. Most dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease can be prevented, so time is also taken to talk about these problems\u00a0to help our\u00a0patients help themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Materials<\/h3>\n<p>When choosing our materials, we can\u00a0use what we believe to be the most durable and\u00a0aesthetic materials, rather than just choosing the cheapest.\u00a0 For instance, even for a silver filling, there are many options for us to choose from, depending on the amalgam alloy quality. \u00a0The cheaper options are more difficult to shape, and may wear sooner.\u00a0 We always opt for best quality.<\/p>\n<h3>Laboratories<\/h3>\n<p>When using laboratories to make crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures, there are many to choose from. \u00a0There is a great variety in the quality\u00a0of the work they produce (and consequently the prices vary enormously)! We strive for the highest quality, not just the cheapest option. We choose our laboratories very carefully, and only use laboratories that put the same standards\u00a0into their work as we do\u00a0into ours.\u00a0 For example, most labs have a range of materials that they use to make dentures, and they give us three price options based on quality.\u00a0 Then there is an\u00a0NHS option which is\u00a0significantly cheaper still and\u00a0doesn\u2019t include all stages usually used to give the best fitting denture possible or the\u00a0best looking\/hardest wearing\u00a0teeth. \u00a0Again, we opt for higher quality.<\/p>\n<h3>Equipment<\/h3>\n<p>We aren\u2019t just looking to meet minimum standards.\u00a0 We want to meet highest standards. As a denplan practice, this gives us \u2018Excel\u2019 status. \u00a0For example when replacing equipment, we have the cheapest options available which would suffice, but we choose equipment\u00a0which is much more expensive, which enables us to treat our patients to the highest standards.<\/p>\n<h3>Accessibility<\/h3>\n<p>Due to the nature of our business, many patients may feel anxious.\u00a0 This is why we put extra importance on our customer service.\u00a0 We believe communication is key to helping people relax and make informed choices.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently completely\u00a0redesigned our website, and set up a google + page, Twitter and Facebook page which allows people to access information about treatments or services very easily, and to be able contact us through these methods.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently installed new computerised booking systems to improve any administration errors, and allow us to text and email appointment reminders easily.<\/p>\n<h3>Other key points<\/h3>\n<p>We strive to offer more appointment availability, and offer an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sgdental.co.uk\/emergencies.html\" target=\"_blank\">emergency\u00a0service<\/a> EVERY day of the year.<br \/>\nWe can offer treatment often not available on the NHS such as white fillings on back teeth, white crowns on back teeth, teeth whitening, implants and bridgework.<br \/>\nAffordable Denplan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sgdental.co.uk\/fees-payment.html\" target=\"_blank\">Care plans<\/a> are available, to incorporate costs of all routine treatments (excluding laboratory bills)<br \/>\nHygienist appointments may be recommended more regularly if necessary, such as every three months, and incorporated into your care plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Private dentistry at\u00a0Mike Allens Dental Practice in Burton.
