The new patient’s 1st visit
Your first visit to our office will consist of a complete initial exam and x-rays if necessary. We will want to evaluate your old fillings, check for new decay, assess the health of your gums and supporting bone, check your bite and jaw joints, and provide an oral cancer screening. It will also serve as an information gathering session so that we can best assess your needs and concerns. At that visit, we will also schedule any necessary future appointments, i.e. cleaning or any necessary fillings. YOUR TEETH WILL NOT BE CLEANED AT THIS INITIAL VISIT. We encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns prior to your appointment.
