The First Appointment
If you are only interested in cosmetic dentistry, we offer
a cosmetic consultation to all new patients. During the consultation
we will discuss your cosmetic options for creating the smile
you've always wanted. Otherwise for general dental patients,
at your first visit, all areas of your mouth will be thoroughly
examined. This process will include a detailed examination
of the teeth, soft tissue, supporting structure alignment,
bite and more. A complete set of x-rays will be taken and
models of your teeth will be made if necessary. All the information
that we obtain will be carefully evaluated so that we may
accurately assess your dental needs.
Preventive Oral Hygiene Appointment
After your examination, you will be ready for the preventive
oral hygiene session. At this time, you will have access to
the latest theories and techniques for controlling dental
disease. Specific approaches will be recommended for your
individual needs. For patients with good oral hygiene (ie:
no gum disease) and with minor restorative needs, your teeth
may also be cleaned by the dentist or by our licensed dental
hygienist on the first visit. Otherwise, a seperate appointment
may be necessary to initiate treatment. Our team of professionals
are dedicated to you receiving maximum longevity from your
natural dentition. We consider this session to be one of the
most valuable services we offer to our patients.
