	No we do not take adult NHS patients. NHS budgets do not allow us to provide this standard of surroundings and equipment and care. Back to questions.

	Our excellent Hygienists are Jane and Andrea who work in a highly equipped surgery. This equipment includes an intra-oral camera which allows you, if you wish, to take a tour round your mouth. Not only do Jane and Andrea scale and polish, but they will also give you preventative advice (and encouragement!) to try and stop gum disease and dental decay from starting. Back to questions.

	No you don't have to be referred by another dentist for cosmetic prodedures, just give us a ring on 01522 567755 to arrange a free consultation with Michelle. She can help you to decide what options are suitable for you. Back to questions.

	Not all the treatments listed here are offered in all dental practices. Since opening the practice we have invested heavily in equipment, and frequently attend courses to keep up to date with new techniques in dentistry. If your dentist does not carry out a procedure that you see here, and is happy to refer you to this practice for a particular course of treatment, then please ask him/her to contact us. Back to questions.

	The amazing Cerec Machine provides crowns, veneers and inlays while you wait. It has revolutionised the way we work here - no more wearing temporary crowns for days or weeks! For more information about this click the and finally button above. Back to questions.

	Teeth whitening along with all forms of cosmetic dentistry is a particular interest of ours and there are several ways in which we can help you improve the colour and appearance of your teeth. Have a look at the 'Dental Menu' to find out more or give us a ring on 01522 567755 to arrange a free consultation with Michelle. Back to questions.

	You will find details regarding joining fees in our new patient package in the Registration section. Thereafter you will only pay for the treatment you receive. There is no annual fee, so if you are one of those lucky people who only need a check-up twice a year, that's all you pay for. Back to questions.

	In order to cover emergency treatment in the evenings, we work with another Lincoln Practice to cover emergencies during evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Back to questions.

	We have a car park exclusively for patients of this surgery, although we do ask that you only use it whilst attending for your appointment. Back to questions.

	We are happy to take children as Private patients. However, we do not do any National Health work. Much of the modern equipment we have invested in is particularly suitable for children. This and the other high technology equipment is not available on the Health Service. A list of charges for children is available on request. Back to questions.

	The surgery is open from 8 am and many people come before they start work. Back to questions.

	There are two dentists in the practice who cover for each other. In the unlikely event that neither dentist is in surgery, arrangements are made with other dentists in Lincoln. There is always a member of staff here who will be pleased to make an appointment for you if you have an emergency. Back to questions.

	We accept all major credit cards, cheques and, of course, good old fashioned cash. Back to questions.
