Private Treatment

NHS dentistry can only provide the treatment that is necessary to protect and maintain the health of your mouth, teeth and gums.

What is the Difference?

Private treatment gives you more time with your Dentist, a greater choice of materials and higher quality laboratory work for improved aesthetics. Cosmetic dentistry is excluded from the NHS treatments, but as a private patient, we can offer you a range of procedures to enhance your smile. Each procedure will be discussed with you prior to the provision of treatment and you would be given a written estimate. No work would be started without your consent.

Private treatments include:

Teeth Whitening
White fillings
Veneers
Crowns

Please feel free to ask about private treatments at any time. For some treatments, e.g. implants, we may suggest referring you to a specialist.

Coronavirus COVID-19 Update

We have opened an online portal to allow you to book your appointment at a time and date convenient to you. Dates are open from 1st May. If you have trouble accessing the portal, please email your name and date of birth to corfemullenpatients@gmail.com so we can send you a link.

Our services remain unaffected by lockdown restrictions. Please be reassured that our infection control procedures are at the highest level for both you and our dental team. All of our staff (other than those who are pregnant) have been vaccinated to create a safe patient environment. We continue to follow all guidance issued by Public Health England.

Best wishes,
Jonathan and Jayne Mynors-Wallis

Dear Corfe Mullen Patient,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health.

Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and you may have seen this during your visits to our surgery. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our practice follows infection control guidelines made by the governing bodies. We are up to date on new guidance that has been issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

Our practice will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again at your appointment
We have hand sanitiser that we will ask you to use when you enter the practice. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the practice for you to use as needed.
We no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect
Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.

We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

How you can help:

With the exception of children and patients with carers, patients should come alone
A distance of at least 2 metres must be observed if another patient is present in the dental practice
Payment should be made by card where possible
Staff will not shake your hand
If you show symptoms following appointment booking, you should contact the practice by phone
Please do not arrive early to the practice. If necessary, you should wait outside the practice
Please do not arrive without an appointment
Patients should come wearing a mask if possible or be prepared to wear one.

Sincerely,

Jonathan and Jayne Mynors-Wallis and Team
