Looking for a new dentist in Cornwall? Learn what happens at a first visit, what to bring, and how our team helps you get started.
A comfortable start
Your first visit begins with a conversation
Whether you need a routine checkup, are transferring from another office, or are looking for a family dentist for every generation, our team takes time to understand what brings you in.
We review your health history, listen to your concerns, and explain each part of the visit before care proceeds. Recommendations are discussed in clear language so you can make informed decisions.

Changing dental offices
New to Cornwall or switching dentists?
Moving your care to York Street Dental Centre can be straightforward. If useful, your previous dental office can send recent records or X-rays. If records are unavailable or out of date, your dentist will decide what new diagnostic information is appropriate.
A panoramic or other digital X-ray may be recommended to establish a current baseline, but X-rays are taken according to individual need.
