The New Patient: What to Expect

In order to provide you with individualized care appropriate for you we feel it is important to spend time getting to know you and understand what it is you want for your dental health. During your initial visit we will review your medical and dental history, your chief concerns and dental goals. We will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums and bone as well as an oral cancer screening, how your teeth fit together. We typically take digital radiographs of your teeth. At times photographs either inside or outside your mouth are taken for treatment planning. And at times we may ask to take impressions for study models to see how your teeth fit together. We may ask permission is applicable to contact your previous dentist or, specialists for their records, reports and or radiographs to better complete your dental history. A dental cleaning is typically part of this initial exam visit.

For your initial comprehensive exam and cleaning you can expect to be in our office for 1 ½ hours.
