If you’re searching for a new patient dentist in Portishead, welcome — we’re so glad you’ve found us. At Evolve Dentistry, we understand that visiting a new dentist for the first time can feel a little overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed our new patient journey to be as friendly, informative and stress-free as possible.

Here’s what you can expect on your first visit to Evolve Dentistry.

1. Easy, helpful booking

Your journey starts the moment you get in touch. Whether you call us or book online, our warm and professional reception team will guide you through the booking process and answer any initial questions. We’ll ask a few quick details to help us prepare for your visit and make sure everything runs smoothly.

2. A friendly welcome at reception

When you arrive at our beautiful practice, you’ll be greeted with a smile. Our reception area is modern, calm and comfortable — designed to help you feel relaxed from the moment you walk in. We’re proud to say many of our patients comment on how welcoming our practice feels. So many of our patients love looking at our Gromit collection!

3. Getting to know you

Before your consultation begins, we’ll spend some time talking about your dental history, any current concerns, and your goals for your smile. Whether you’re here for a routine check-up or looking for more complex treatment, we take the time to really understand what matters to you.

4. A comprehensive oral examination

At your new patient assessment at Evolve Dentistry, we believe in doing things properly from the start. Your first appointment includes a full oral examination — checking your teeth, gums, jaw, soft tissues, and bite. We’ll also take any necessary digital X-rays and carry out an oral cancer screening as part of our thorough assessment.

5. Your personalised treatment plan

Once your examination is complete, your dentist will clearly explain their findings and any treatment recommendations. We always use plain English — no confusing jargon — and never pressure you into making decisions. You’ll leave with a clear, personalised treatment plan and a real sense of what’s next. We believe in providing solutions to the problems that we are presented with. 

6. Ongoing support & care

Becoming an Evolve patient means more than just receiving treatment — it means becoming part of a practice that genuinely cares. From routine hygiene visits to advanced cosmetic work, we’ll be with you every step of the way, providing advice, encouragement and outstanding care tailored to your needs.
