New patients at Hitchin Dental Care
New to Hitchin, or looking for a new dentist?
If you've moved to the area or want a new dentist in Hitchin, we'd be glad to see you. Hitchin Dental Care has been in Hitchin for over 20 years, with general dentists, hygienists and specialists under one roof.
At your first visit we take time to understand your dental history and what you'd like from your care, and we explain what we find before suggesting anything.
With this in mind, we introduce the clever, innovative technological advancement known as the iTero scanner. This intelligent machine lets you, the patient, and our dentists visually highlight your current dental needs and, if your teeth need aligning or straightening, see how your teeth could look following your dental treatment. The iTero scanner is more commonly used to map out the progress of orthodontic treatment using Invisalign. However, it’s also invaluable in our new patient journey, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
The iTero digital scanner permits us to produce fast, accurate, colour 3D images within minutes. The images are shown on screen, which allows us to enhance the patient experience substantially.
We are always thrilled to welcome new patients to our practice. You can make an appointment by contacting our friendly team by phone. Or feel free to pop in and make an appointment with our reception staff.
What your new patient consultation includes
We have a special offer for initial consultations, which is a starter package for just £65.00* This will include:
- A full dental assessment
- small intra-oral x-rays
- A scan using the iTero scanner – this provides 3D pictures of your teeth and gums
- We discuss and highlight any problem areas
- We provide a fully personalised treatment plan that you are happy with, including detailed costs and length of treatment time to achieve your final goal
- *There will be an additional fee should a large orbital x-ray be required e.g. When assessing wisdom teeth for extraction or you have a heavily restored dentition or advanced gum disease
During your assessment we check for signs of decay and gum disease, and we screen for mouth cancer. It helps if you bring details of any medication and your medical history, because they give us the bigger picture of your oral health.
We recommend you visit a dentist every six months for a routine check-up, even if you don’t have any noticeable problems and have a generally healthy mouth. We can detect gum disease early and spot any signs of decay before they worsen.
We can also take x-rays and use our iTero digital scanner to provide an accurate picture of your teeth and gums. This scan helps us detect any issues, but it also means we can see if the teeth are crooked, discoloured or would benefit from alignment. It helps us visualise in 3D pictures how your teeth can improve. From this viewpoint, we can then arrange any further treatment.
*A deposit of £45 will be required at the time of booking. The remaining balance to be paid on the day.
This is the best dental practice we have ever been to! Dr Roshni Sharma and Nurse Holly Surridge (The Dental Dream Team) were just incredible and a true asset to the surgery. Walking in we were welcomed by the friendly reception staff and their lovely smiles (a great sign this dental practice is a good one!). We took my father in for an emergency appointment after his tooth and previous crown had broken off. We feared his tooth would have to be extracted. They had recommended remaking his tooth using a state of the art in house milling machine which I hadn’t ever seen before and never even thought was possible. The benefit of using this technology meant my dad was able to keep his tooth and have a brand new one made within the hour!
I honestly cannot recommend this surgery and its staff more highly enough. They are extremely attentive and knowledgeable but most importantly it felt like they cared for my dad’s well being, which really means a lot. Thanks to the whole team for everything you did for us, we are extremely grateful!
