“I love our beautiful practice, but i have always wanted my dream practice. After many years of re-investing in our practice with the support of our loyal patients, my wife and our lovely staff  I have decided to design and build my dream practice. Life is short, if not now then when?”

Dr. Rik Trivedi 

The Practice

We are in the process of expanding our existing practice and relocating to the building next door at 189 Parrock Street. Building works started in April 2010 and are expected to complete this September.

The new bespoke dental practice has been designed by the award winning London architect Richard Mitzman ( http://www.richardmitzman.com ) who himself is a dentist. The advantage of this is that we have designed the entire practice with our patients in mind to create a “WOW” environment of luxury.

The new practice will have a large waiting room and reception area, 5 brand new surgeries, 2 consultation rooms, an xray room and a seperate decontamination /sterilisation room for the highest hygiene standards. The practice is on the ground floor and is fully disabled/wheel chair patient friendly. There will be state of the art surgeries with the most advanced technology. There will be plenty of natural light and glass walls and even a landscaped garden.

We feel the new practice would harmonise our practice philosophy more closely “…to enable our patient to achieve optimum health, look good and feel great about their teeth and smiles”. We provide VALUE NHS and FINEST PRIVATE services through our continual training and advanced technology.

“We are expanding and growing to improve our services and facilities for you our patients. We welcome New Patients and friends and family of our existing patients! We grow through your recommendations. Thank-you.”

The Dentists

Joining our Dental team is Dr. Manmit (Manny) Matharu who will be joining the practice in August. He is a vibrant, bubbly and confident dentist who will fit in well with our energetic, highly trained and customer focused team. He is looking forward to meeting you over the coming months.

The Staff

Following on from our practice expansion we have grown our team of dentists and staff. Laura has joined the customer service team in reception and the surgery. She has extensive experience in customer service and is a lovely, bubbly and happy person who will enhance your experience further at our practice.

We would like to take this oppurtunity to wish our lovely nurse Nicola all the best for the new adventures of motherhood that lie ahead for her. We are also very pleased to welcome back Irene from her maternity leave. She is loving motherhood but missed our lovely patients!

Evelyn was very nervous about going to the dentist and had therefore had not been to see a dentist for many years. After just two appointments with us Evelyn felt really comfortable and at ease and can now confidently say that she will continue with regular checkups with Parrock Street Dental Care.

Who is eligible?
Just about anyone over the age of 18. You don’t have to belong to a private dental plan and you don’t have to be a regular patient at Parrock Street Dental Care.

What can I use the loan for?
You can use the loan to pay for most dental work, but its particularly suited to more costly private treatments, such as dental implants, orthodontics, aesthtic or cosmetic work. If you’re not sure whether it’s right for treatment than please speak to your dentists or our lovely receptionists who will be happy to help you.

How much can i borrow?
Typically between £500 and £25,000 depending on the course of treatment. This will be subject to an ‘on-the-spot’ credit check. Most patients’ applications are approved there and then, so you can go ahead and schedule treatment immediately.

How do i repay the loan?
Much like any other loan, you repay it in affordable monthly payments over an agreed term. These payments are collected by Direct Debit.

How much will I pay?
You pay the cost of your treatment- no more and no less. Interest-free means just that. However there are many different options that allow you to pay back over an even longer period of time that does have a low interest rate. You can choose whatever option best suits you.

What are the repayment terms?
Your dentist or dental team member will be able to go through the various terms with you and agree the most suitable repayment period.

How do I apply?
Once you’ve agreed on a course of treatment- and a cost- with your dentist, medenta will make a credit application on your behalf. As soon as the credit check is complete and loan processed, you’ll receive written confirmation from the credit provider. Simple as that!

If you would like any further information than please phone 01474 537191 to speak to one of our reception team members.

It is common for an extraction site to continue oozing blood for the first 24 hours. You are recommended to apply pressure over the site with a bite pack/ clean cotton cloth or rolled hankie and bite hard for 20min.

Do not rinse or spit out for 24 Hours- as rinsing and spitting can wash away blood clots and lead to further bleeding which can delay healing.

Be careful, not to burn or bite your lips/cheeks due to the anaesthesia, it can take up to 2-3 hours before the anaesthesia wears off-  it is recommended you eat/drink once the numbness has worn off.

It is sometimes good to take pain relief before the anaesthesia has worn off. Any type of painkiller such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen can be taken…however you should check your suitability for any drugs. Avoid taking aspirin based painkillers as this can encourage bleeding.

Avoid smoking as smoking can increase the risk of infection and delays healing.

Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise as both can lead to bleeding and delayed healing.

Mouthwash (corsodyl/retardex) and brushing the following day should be carried out as normal however hot salt water mouthwashes (1 cup : 1 teaspoon of salt) can be used in addition after every meal to help encourage the extraction site to remain clean.

Should an extraction site increase in pain after 2-3 days, this may indicate a dry socket and you should make an appointment to see your dentist by calling the practice on 01474 537191.
