What to Expect at Your First Visit
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Your first visit with us will take a little longer than a routine checkup because we want to get to know you and your health in detail. This ensures that your care is thorough, personalized, and effective.
We’ll review your medical and dental history and provide a Comprehensive Oral Examination. This exam is non-invasive but thorough, and may include digital X-rays to give us a complete picture of your oral health.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection is key; we check for signs of oral cancer at every exam.
- Cavity Check: Careful assessment to identify any areas of decay.
- TMJ Assessment: Evaluating the temporomandibular joint for proper function and comfort.
- Orthodontic Assessment: Checking alignment, bite, and jaw development.
- Periodontal Health Assessment: Measuring gum health and looking for signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: We’ll create a long-term plan to support your optimal oral health for years to come.
Your initial examination includes:
