Your Local Private Dentist in East Finchley (N2)

Regular check-ups form the foundation of good oral health. We recommend a routine examination and hygiene visit every six to twelve months. If you have toothache, persistent sensitivity to hot or cold, bleeding gums when brushing, or a chip or crack, please book an appointment. We offer same-day slots during office hours for urgent issues. Many patients in East Finchley also come to discuss cosmetic options like teeth whitening or to get a second opinion on a treatment plan.

Your first visit at our Finchley practice focuses on understanding your dental health and goals. We'll start with a chat about your dental history and any concerns. Then Dr. Reddy performs a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, looking for decay or disease. We use digital imaging for a clear view of your oral health, with significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. The appointment typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes and ends with a professional clean from our hygienist and a discussion of your personalized treatment plan. For example, a new patient recently had a check-up where digital X-rays helped us spot a small cavity early, allowing a simple filling and avoiding more complex work later.

After the check-up and cleaning, the focus shifts to keeping your mouth healthy at home. Our hygienist will provide tailored advice on brushing and flossing. We recommend brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between teeth daily. One patient who had not seen a dentist in years arrived with gum concerns; after a thorough clean and a personalized home-care plan, their six-month follow-up showed improved gum health. This shows that professional care plus daily upkeep delivers the best long-term results. We'll also schedule your next routine appointment to stay on track with preventative care.

To decide what is right for you, ask these key questions whether you come to us or another practice in North London. What does a new patient examination include and what does it cost? Do you have experience with nervous or anxious patients? What technology do you use for diagnosis, like X-rays? Can you explain the different treatment options for my issue? Do you accept private plans like Denplan or Cigna? And what is your approach to handling dental emergencies during and outside office hours?

We are a fully private dental practice and do not offer NHS services. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. A routine new patient check-up and hygiene visit has a set fee, which will be explained when you book. If any further treatment is required, we'll provide you with a detailed plan outlining all the costs involved before we proceed. We accept several major private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please contact our reception team to discuss your specific coverage and payment options.
