Why Choosing Hartley Dental Will be Your Healthiest Decision of 2018!

There’s a question that Charlie and the team often discuss: “Why should people choose to come to Hartley Dental over the other dental practices in Plymouth?”It’s a great question. We could write a blog entirely about how brilliant our clinical team are (which they absolutely are) and focus purely on the treatment side of things - but we realise that dentistry is not just about that. After all - every practice has great clinicians - so that’s nothing out of the ordinary.So the real question is: “What makes Hartley stand out from the rest?”First and foremost, we realise a lot of people haven’t been to the dentist for a long time, which is obviously not good from a health perspective - but totally understandable if you’re nervous and/or embarrassed about the state of your teeth. We understand this and we don’t judge anyone!All we want is for you to feel welcomed and valued.The Hartley Dental Team will NEVER:

• ‘Tell you off’ about your oral health,
• Lecture you about your oral health,
• Make you feel guilty in any way, about anything,
• Be condescending in anyway - we are all just humans at the end of the day and We just want to help!

The Hartley Dental Team will ALWAYS:

• Listen to your views, opinions and desires during your journey and experience with us,
• Advise and guide you on every treatment option available to you,
• Welcome you with a smile and eye contact, along with treating you with dignity and respect,
• Build great relationships with Charlie, Dean, Janie and the rest of the team - who simply want you to feel welcome and make your teeth healthier!
