Your First Appointment

During your first few visits to our office, it will be evident that we want you to become educated about the condition of your oral health, as well as, the many treatments available to improve oral health. We want you to be involved in treatment decisions and to understand the consequences of non-treatment. One of the most valuable tools for oral health education is the intra-oral video camera. This camera allows you to see your teeth, gums and other structures in your mouth with high magnification (30x). Generally, we will clean your teeth, perform a comprehensive, tooth by tooth examination, and record our findings. Most often, you will be rescheduled for a video consultation, at which time we will view all teeth needing treatment with the intra-oral camera, view x-rays if necessary, and discuss treatment options and alternatives. We will also discuss expected results and possible outcomes. We want you to have as much time as you wish to ask questions about treatment, or if you like, just get to know us better. This appointment is free of charge and is strictly for your benefit. We encourage, but do not require, all of our patients to experience this educational appointment and become directly involved in all treatment decisions.
