Your initial appointment may be about one hour. The intention during this time is to establish your health goals. We think dental health is an integral part of whole body health so it is important for us to take the time to understand your situation.
The conversation may involve family, medical, dental and lifestyle history. All of this information helps us develop a dental health plan specifically for you and your needs.
Our team will thoroughly exam your mouth, and may use diagnostic tools such as x-rays, intra-oral photos, stains and transilluminatos to help detect dental caries, gum disease and soft tissues conditions, such as cancer. We also want to make sure that you have good jaw function and healthy habits.
We will explain your dental health status to you, identify problems and explain how they came about. We will discuss the treatment options available, and build an individual road map on how together we can achieve your health goals.
