New Patient Exam
A new patient exam is a full check of your teeth, gums and mouth, including an oral cancer screening and small X-rays where needed. It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes and gives us the full picture before recommending any treatment.
What it is and who it's for
A new patient exam is a visual examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, plus an oral cancer screening, so we can see how healthy your mouth is and catch anything that needs attention early. It suits anyone joining TG’s Dental Suite for the first time, or returning after a break from dental care.
How treatment works
-
Examination
We examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues for swelling, decay or other abnormalities, and carry out an oral cancer screening.
-
X-rays, if needed
Small X-rays check for anything not visible during the visual exam, such as decay between teeth or below the gumline.
-
Your plan
If treatment is recommended, we set out the options and an affordable way to get your mouth healthy.
What you can expect
- Early detection of problems, before they need bigger treatment
- A full picture of your oral and overall health
- Small X-rays where needed, to check what a visual exam can’t show
- A clear plan for any follow-up treatment, explained in plain language

I recently attended my first appointment at TG’s dental suite in Ashby, and was extremely impressed with the level of service and care shown, a complete opposite to my previous Dental Practice. James the dentist acknowledged me as being a nervous patient and was absolutely outstanding at putting me at ease, explaining the findings and potential treatments going forward. First class. I then had this information confirmed by Haze on reception who again was so caring and considerate and explained this really well with costing options really clear and on display. I would highly recommend this practice based on my experience! 👏👏👏
I recently visited TG's Dental Suite for a Dental check up. I was really impressed with the friendliness & professionalism of the team especially Nikki. I first met her when I was looking for a dentist. She was very welcoming, explaining the treatments offered and the different affordable plans. She highlighted that they had a special offer for new patients and would email when it was available, which she did. Overall I had an excellent experience with all the friendly team members and would definitely recommend them. I was also impressed by the ambience of the premises, which was very serene & calming. Looking forward to my treatments there in the near future. Khursheed
First visit to TG’s and very impressed with staff from welcome at Reception and treatment from both Alex and Felicity. So knowledgeable, calm and reassuring. Have booked my next routine check appointment without hesitation. Thank you all.
