New patients

Comprehensive new patient examination with total health awareness dentistry

All our procedures are performed with enhanced visual precision. Our dentists and hygienists use magnifying loupes that enlarge your teeth up to seven times their normal size compared to practitioners working without magnification.

Your smile is just the beginning… at Gentle Dentistry we see dentistry a little differently

To us, a healthy smile is much more than just good-looking teeth-it is the foundation of a healthier, happier you.

Our approach to health beyond the mouth means we consider the bigger picture — not just your teeth and gums. We take a comprehensive approach to dental care, recognizing the important connection between oral health and overall wellbeing. Our aim is to support not just your smile, but your general health through thoughtful, preventative care.

Your mouth is often called ‘a gateway to the body’ and for a good reason. Many systemic diseases first show signs in the mouth and here at Gentle Dentistry we focus on supporting your entire health journey.

Our comprehensive new patient examination

We believe in thorough, personalised care from the very first visit. We will walk you through your choices, explain everything clearly, and answer any questions.

This first appointment is designed to give you a complete picture of your oral health — and a comfortable, confident start to your dental care with us.

Your comprehensive new patient exam will include:

Full gum health and teeth check
A detailed assessment to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and wear.
Oral cancer screening
A quick, painless check of your mouth, lips, and tongue to spot any early warning signs.
TMJ screening
Helps detect misalignments that may cause pain, tooth damage, or other issues crucial for maintaining overall health.
Medical referral support
If we spot anything that needs further medical attention, we will arrange a referral to GP or trusted local specialist. You will never be left on your own.
Digital X-rays and radiographic examination
Safe, low-does x-rays to get a clear view of your teeth, roots, and jawbone.
Full written personalised dental report with pricing and options
A clear summary of findings you can keep for your records.

What happens at your first visit?

  • Warm Welcome – from the moment you arrive, our friendly team will great you with a smile, no rush, no pressure and definitely no judgement.
  • Time To Talk – before we look at your teeth we will sit down and have a relaxed chat. You can use this time to tell us about your wishes, concerns, past experiences and health conditions and let us know what you would like from your dental care.
  • There will be plenty of time for questions – you will have time to ask anything-no feeling being rushed or dismissed.

Planning for a stress-free visit

Here are easy steps to prepare for your first visit:

  • Complete your medical history questionnaire that will be sent in advance upon booking or simply download it below.
  • Bring a list of medications you are currently taking
  • Think of anything you would like to discuss … nothing is too small to mention.
  • Arrive few minutes early to settle in in our relaxing environment
  • If it helps to have a familiar face with you bring a friend or a family member to make you feel more comfortable.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else

After years of poor dental hygiene, I was nervous about finding a dentist who would focus on saving my teeth rather than just replacing them. I honestly thought I would need to have multiple teeth replaced, but Gentle Dentistry Bournemouth proved otherwise.
Andrew Webster

I was really impressed from the moment I walked in

The practice creates an incredibly friendly environment and is equipped with the latest technology to deliver excellent results. I had a new patient examination with Dimi and was impressed by how thorough and comprehensive the planning was. Dimi, Dan, and the whole Gentle Dentistry team made me feel very comfortable during treatment, and their attention to detail is second to none.

They have made me feel very calm and at ease

Everyone at Gently Dentistry is extremely welcoming. The environment is great too, with a selection of music and TV channels to watch during treatment. Having recently had 4 appointments with Dimitrios, I can highly recommend him as an excellent dentist and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I have complete faith in Dan and his team

Having had a bad experience in the past, I am what you might call a nervous patient when it comes to dental work. I’ve been with Gentle Dentistry about 18 months now and have complete faith in Dan and his team. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with any fears about dentistry to give Gentle Dentistry a try, you won’t be disappointed.
