Becoming a New Patient?

What Happens on My First Visit?

Unless there is some immediate concern or urgency, the first visit at our office involves:
  1. A very thorough comprehensive examination of your entire masticatory (chewing) system that lasts approximately an hour. Therefore a cleaning is not done at this appointment.
  2. A review of your dental and medical history before the oral examination.
  3. Once this information is documented we will perform a through oral examination, beginning with an oral cancer exam.
  4. An examination of your gums for evidence of periodontal disease.
  5. An examination of your teeth.
  6. Any necessary x-rays to detect pathology or decay that can’t be seen visually, will be taken. 
  7. A bite analysis.
  8. We check your jaw-joints for any abnormalities or signs of TMJ problems.
  9. Using an intra-oral camera we will point out any evidence of problem or disease in your teeth or gums.
  10. An explanation of the findings and the best way to begin treatment.

It is our role to examine your entire chewing system and assess its current status, make a diagnosis and develop a master treatment plan that will achieve optimal comfort, function, health and esthetics.

*This is without question the most important series of appointments you and your dentist will have. Many of the disappointments individuals have with dentistry can be traced back to an incomplete evaluation and diagnosis.
