About Us
Following the announcement by the government on 28th May, we are incredibly pleased and excited to announce that we will be re-opening Nichols and Fisher Dental Care from Monday 8th June!
We have had to cancel numerous appointments since the lockdown began 3 months ago and will initially be prioritising appointments for our existing patients who have had dental emergencies in order of urgency. Please do not attend the clinic unless you have an appointment.
At Nichols and Fisher, the most important thing is patient safety and comfort, and that is why we have spent the time of closure upgrading the clinic and introducing the following measures to keep our patients and staff SAFER than ever:
-
The clinic as you are aware was always a very clean and safe environment. However, we have placed hand sanitisers at entry points, upgraded our PPE and redesigned the patient journey in line with social distancing.
-
We will be conducting pre-screening tests of patients which is likely to include taking your temperature on arrival.
-
We will be booking your appointments to ensure that the Practice and waiting areas are not overcrowded. We will do this by leaving suitable gaps between appointments, making sure that you can attend the practice while maintaining a suitable distance from one another in accordance with government guidelines.
-
We will also be creating clinics for patients who are most vulnerable, to help minimise contact with others for this group whilst they are at the practice.
-
To further avoid overcrowding when you arrive at the practice, we ask that you wait in your car or in a safe place outside of the practice until called in. We will notify you when you should enter the practice.
-
You will receive a call from one of our dentists to go through some pre-assessment questions before you enter the practice so we can get a lot of information we need whilst you are in the comfort of your home. This means that you will not have to touch a pen or any electronic device when you attend your appointment. Please make sure you have a list of your medications with you for when we call.
-
We will ask that you pay using a contactless payment method and request no cash/cheque payments at this time. This crucial step greatly reduces touch points at the practice.
-
Between all appointments as always, the dental team will thoroughly disinfect the dental surgery, door handles and washrooms, reducing the risk of exposure to anything harmful while you are in our practice.
We thank you all for your patience during this difficult time and look forward to seeing you again soon! We will be in touch as soon as we are ready to see you.

Testimonials
A Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Experiences at Nichols and Fisher give me full confidence in the advice I'm given regarding treatment I need. I was very apprehensive when I needed to have a wisdom tooth removed but there was no need to be.
My dentist explained the process and what to expect so that I wouldn't be phased by the sounds and sensations and this helped immensely. My care was personalised and time was taken to ensure that everything was going as it should.
No-one wants a tooth removing but I can honestly say that at Nichols and Fisher I was informed and cared for before, during & after. I went home confident that I had received appropriate treatment, respect and consideration and secure in the knowledge that if I had any problems I would receive prompt support.
An Anxious Patient
I have always had a fear of dentists, I can remember many years ago seeing my then dental surgeon at a christening and breaking out into a cold sweat. Since I have been registered with this practice, this fear seems to have disappeared.
From the moment you walk through the door you are treated with courtesy and put at your ease by friendly professional staff and this continues all through your treatment.
I have had occasion to visit the surgery two or three times during the last week with my grandaughter, who has had rather a nasty infection, she has received excellent care and I cannot thank them enough.
Another Tooth Extraction
Myself, husband and daughter have been patients at this dental practice for many years. The service we receive is always excellent.
The reception staff will always try to make an appointment at a convienant time , especially if you are in need of an appointment due to being in pain.
The dentists are all very friendly and tell you what they are doing, and why. I recently had to have an extraction and the dentist was excellent . We would have no hesitation at all in recommending this dental surgery to anyone.
