Trust you are well.
Our patients are our top priority, so we're introducing brand new features to enhance your communications with us in order to make your experience even better and seamless. These can be accessed by our new website - www.stokenchurchdental.com :
Patient Portal - Our goal is to make vital oral health care easy to access - for everybody. By tuning into patient habits, helping them better understand the importance of oral health, and providing them with the broadest range of treatment options and providers - we want to revolutionize the patient experience, bringing digitalized dentistry to the forefront of the industry.
How? By supporting each patient at every single touchpoint on their practice journey. Here are just some of the ways our Patient Portal can do so:

Help you book an appointment time that works for you.
Minimize paperwork and provide you easy access to all your treatment plans as well as invoices.
Manage your medical history

Whilst these features have undergone extensive testing, we would be grateful for your patience if you find any quirks in the system. We welcome your feedback as you continue to use these advanced features .
Finally, the fact is, as a business, we aren’t immune to the times we’re living in right now. The pandemic hit us particularly hard as we were forced to close for a couple of months, materials have gone up in price many fold, interest rates are increasing and there has been a wage increase too. Now, we’re faced with ever-increasing energy costs and dental practices – with our state of the art chairs, CT Scan machines, Xrays, Compressors, Suction Pumps and other equipment – use a significant amount of energy.
We’ve been able to shoulder the cost increases up until this point, and to shield our customers as much as possible. Sadly, we cannot shoulder all our rising costs any longer, and we will be increasing the private treatment fees as well as our annual membership plan cost to £13.75 per month from May 1st, 2022.
Of course, even with the price increase, we offer excellent value for money and remain one of the most cost effective private dental practitioners across the region.
You do not need to do anything, as your payment for the membership plan will continue as normal at the new monthly fee. We value your continued loyalty during 2022.
Regards
Stokenchurch Dental Team
