Comprehensive Initial Examination
 During your initial exam, we’ll get know you and learn all the details of your oral health. We’ll go over your medical and dental history, then examine your teeth and gums carefully for any signs of decay or problems. You’ll receive an oral cancer screening, and we will examine your bite and jaw joints. We’ll also take a complete set of low-radiation, digital X-rays as well as digital photographs of your smile. Our patients often tell us they’ve never had such a thorough examination.
During this visit, we’ll spend a lot of time talking with you. We’ll ask about your concerns and goals for dental treatment, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions about our practice and treatments.
After your first appointment, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit for teeth cleaning. We’ll also set up a separate appointment for a consultation, during which we’ll go over the findings of the initial exam, discuss implications of the findings, and present any treatment possibilities that apply to your specific situation.
