Unless you have an emergency, your first appointment will be for us to get to know each other. Records will be established & you will receive a thorough 10 point examination including any necessary digital x-rays & clinical photographs. We check:

• medical history;
• past dental history;
• face & neck for abnormalities;
• gums;
• teeth;
• inside of the mouth,
•  oral cancer check;
• jaw;
• xrays;
• bone condition;

Finally there is a discussion about any treatment needed or any measures necessary to keep healthy.

All patients receive a comprehensive written treatment plan & estimate of costs.

Please allow 1 hour for your 1st visit. We also use a digital intra oral camera as part of the discussion & diagnosis sessions that follow the examination.
