New Patient Examinations: Why Choose Smile Up For Your Dental Health Requirements?

Reviewed by Ricky Sardinha, GDC 82734 Published 22 Feb 2020 Updated 1 Mar 2026 4 min read

New patient examinations are extremely important to us, as we know how important first impressions are, especially when it’s your health in the picture. Establishing a great rapport underpinned by trust and understanding is one of our core values and we strive to make all new patients feel safe and welcome.

New patient examinations: our objectives

We love welcoming new patients and one of the most important elements of a new patient examination is getting a clear picture of your current dental health, exploring what you might not like about your teeth and what we can suggest to change this, and establishing how often we need to see you for routine dentist and hygienist appointments. Every patient is different; everyone’s dental and gum healthy needs vary, which is why our philosophy is to treat the individual and understand what’s going on in the microcosm that is your mouth!

Making a great first impression

First impressions are vital, especially with regards to something as important as your health. In this day and age, no-one wants to make a return visit to a dental practice that feels clinical, unwelcoming and in which they don’t feel cared for. We believe our job as a collective is to go beyond delivering quality dental care – though don’t get us wrong, this is a given here at Smile Up! Adopting an empathetic approach, having a willingness and desire to listen to patients about their worries and treatment expectations and helping patients overcome their dental anxieties are all aspects of our profession that we take very seriously. Dental care is a personal thing, so we’re always here to listen to what you have to say and our philosophy is to tailor treatment to your exact needs, conducting special investigations where necessary and referring you for specific treatment outside of our Lewisham practice.

Investing in the last technology and market-leading brands

As well as having a talented team on our side, we believe delivering the highest level of care has to involve harnessing the best technologies, treatment methods and equipment out there. From Airflow tooth polishing and digital impressions, to Invisalign and white fillings, we can offer the very best modern dentistry has to offer.

Here at Smile Up Dental, we are open 6 days a week to offer convenience and flexibility to our patients. We are a multi-lingual practice, speaking languages that include Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Italian, and Bulgarian. Get in touch with us today to book yourself in for a consultation.
