FAQ – Corve Street Dentist in Ludlow | corvedental.com

How do I book an appointment?

You can call our reception during opening hours or use the enquiry form on our website. Let us know if you prefer a specific dentist or time and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Do you accept walk-in patients?

Walk-ins are welcome when we have availability, but booking ahead is recommended so we can reserve the right time for your visit.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Please bring photo ID, your medical history and medication list, any dental x-rays or notes you may have, and your preferred payment method. Arrive 5–10 minutes early to complete a short medical form.

Do you provide emergency dental care?

Yes. We keep same-day slots for urgent problems like toothache, swelling, a broken tooth, or a lost filling. Call us as early as possible and describe your symptoms so we can prioritise you appropriately.

Which treatments do you offer?

General dentistry (check-ups, hygiene, fillings), root canal treatment, extractions, crowns and bridges, dentures, cosmetic options (whitening & composite bonding), and replacement options such as dental implants. We’ll discuss the best plan for your needs after an examination.

Do you treat nervous or anxious patients?

Absolutely. We take time to explain each step, use gentle techniques, and plan breaks. If you have specific concerns or triggers, tell us in advance so we can tailor your visit.

How often should I have a check-up?

Most adults benefit from a check-up every 6–12 months, depending on their oral health and risk factors. Your dentist will recommend the right interval for you.

What are your opening hours?

Our hours may vary slightly by day. When you contact us to book, we’ll confirm the current opening times and the earliest available appointment that suits you.

Where are you located? Is parking available?

We’re on Corve Street in Ludlow town centre, within easy walking distance of local car parks and public transport. If you need directions or step-free access, please call ahead.

Do you see children and families?

Yes—children are very welcome. We provide gentle check-ups, preventive advice, and treatments tailored to each age.

Do you accept NHS patients?

Availability can change. Please contact reception to check our current NHS status and any waiting list information. We also offer private appointments.

Do you take dental insurance or plans?

We can provide itemised receipts for you to claim from your insurer, and we’re happy to complete any required forms. If you have a plan, bring your policy details so we can advise what’s covered.

What payment methods do you accept? Do you offer finance?

We accept major cards and cash. For larger treatments, staged appointments help spread the cost. Ask us about any current finance options when you attend your consultation.

Is teeth whitening safe? How long does it last?

Dentist-supervised whitening is safe and carefully prescribed to protect teeth and gums. Results vary by lifestyle but typically last 12–24 months with good habits; top-ups help maintain brightness.

Do you offer Invisalign® or other teeth straightening?

Yes, we can assess your smile and discuss clear aligners and other orthodontic options, including suitability, timelines, and costs.

What is your cancellation or late policy?

If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please give us at least 24–48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another patient. Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee.
