Cancellations & failure to attend

We aim to provide all our patients with the best possible service and to achieve this we need your cooperation.  

We understand that you have a busy schedule and recognise the need to provide an efficient service. We will make every effort to book an appointment time and date to suit you. 

Patients then need to notify us if you can not make the booked appointment. We send out the booking confirmation with the appointment card attached when leaving the surgery.

Appointments can be made or rescheduled by calling us on 01805 623657 or emailing the team on reception@torringtondental.co.uk

If you are unsure whether you can make it to an appointment, please contact us early to discuss the matter rather than leaving it to the last minute.
