Joining Brightwell

  1. Book

    Online or by phone. Tell us if anything worries you.

  2. Fill in your forms

    We email a short medical history form to complete before your visit.

  3. First visit

    About 40 minutes: a full check-up, x-rays if needed and a written plan with prices.

What to bring

  • A list of any medicines you take
  • Your glasses, if you need them to read forms
  • For children on the NHS: nothing extra, just come along

NHS or private?

Children and young people

NHS

Free NHS check-ups and treatment for under-18s, and under-19s in full-time education. Check who qualifies.

Adults

Private

Longer appointments and a wider choice of treatments, with every price on our fees page or spread with the Care Plan. Looking for an NHS dentist for an adult? Find one on the NHS website.

If you are nervous, you are not alone.

  • Tell us when you book, and we will allow extra time.
  • We explain each step before we do it, in plain words.
  • Raise your hand at any point and we stop.
  • Your first visit can be just a chat, with no treatment at all.

Access

Step-free entrance and a ground-floor treatment room. Let us know if you need anything else and we will plan for it.

Getting here

High Barnet Underground station (Northern line) is a short walk away, with pay-and-display parking on nearby streets.

Complaints

Please talk to our practice manager first. We acknowledge complaints within 3 working days. Private patients can also contact the Dental Complaints Service. NHS patients can contact their local integrated care board, then the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
