Your
Initial Appointment
We don’t
actually do quick check-ups like you may have experienced
at other dentists. Our comprehensive examination process is
much
more thorough than examinations you may have previously had.
Your first appointment takes approximately 45 minutes and includes:
- Intra & extra oral soft tissue exam, including oral
cancer screening
- Inspecting your teeth with a diagnostic laser, looking
for decay, cracks or faulty restorations
- Examination of your bite to assess whether the way you
bite is damaging your teeth or causing pain in your head & neck
- X-rays of teeth, as well as extra & intra oral photos
to assist diagnosis
- Thorough gum health analysis
If necessary a second appointment is made, free of charge,
where a written treatment plan is presented. This will outline the dentist’s findings from the examination appointment and list options for any dental work you may require. If you
are interested in cosmetic enhancement, full details of procedures
and fees will be discussed at this appointment. |
