Us

If you are experiencing problems don't leave it until it becomes urgent, contact the practice immediately.

We reserve time every day to see patients who need emergency care. In order to ensure that you are seen without delay we would ask you to contact us as early as possible in the day; preferably before 9.30am.

Outside of normal surgery hours we are pleased to provide an emergency service to cover weekends and holidays. Please contact the dentist-on-call by phoning the practice on 01579 342348 before 12 noon for a same day appointment. An answer-phone message will provide you with details.

This service is for registered Independent and Smile Plan patients of the practice and the charge is £290.00 plus the normal charge for any treatment provided.

Our practice is wheelchair friendly as there are no steps in and we have wider opening doors and a disabled toilet. We also have a ground floor surgery, which is perfect for wheelchair users or those with mobility difficulties.

At The Smile Centre dental practice in Liskeard, Cornwall we will endeavour to manage our appointment system to avoid delays in dental and hygiene appointment times and minimise loss of dental surgery time through cancellations and failed appointments.

The Smile Centre team will:

• Communicate with patients in a courteous, friendly, professional manner.
• Make sure that patients receive full information about our services, their treatment and its cost.
• Provide advice and treatment outside normal surgery hours where necessary.
• Refer patients for further professional advice and treatment where appropriate.
• Ensure that patients should have to wait no longer than 15 minutes to be seen. Where there is a further delay we will explain the reasons.
• Remind patients of their appointment by phone, email or text (as preferred).
• Monitor our waiting times for (i) treatment and (ii) for booking appointments.
• Provide as much notice as possible when appointments have to be changed or cancelled and explain the reasons.
• Advise patients if there is a change of dentist.
• Advise patients of the appropriate recall interval.

We encourage you to:

• Participate in your dental treatment, particularly any advice about prevention and diet that we have asked you to continue at home.
• Arrive on time for your appointment. Please give the practice at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to keep your appointment. We may charge for missed appointments where we have not been notified.
• Advise us of any changes to your contact details (address, telephone numbers, email) to help us keep our records up to date and ensure that we are able to contact you.
