What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial appointment is designed to give us a complete picture of your oral health while making sure you feel informed and confident about your care.
Comprehensive Dental Exam
During your first visit, our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include:
- Digital X-Rays – Detects cavities, bone loss, cysts, and other underlying dental concerns.
- Oral Cancer Screening – Examines your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, and gums for early signs of oral cancer.
- Gum Disease Evaluation – Checks for any signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Tooth Surface Examination – Uses special instruments to assess tooth decay.
- Evaluation of Existing Dental Work – Ensures that your crowns, fillings, veneers, and other restorations are in good condition.
Professional Dental Cleaning
One of our experienced dental hygienists will provide a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup while leaving your smile fresh and polished. This includes:
- Tartar Removal – Hardened plaque is removed from above and below the gumline.
- Plaque Removal – Eliminates bacteria and buildup that contribute to gum disease.
- Stain Removal & Polishing – Leaves your teeth clean and smooth.
