Dental Services
Special TLC for our patients:
For adults the new patient visit is broken into different appointments. At the first appointment we get to know you by starting with your patient information questionnaire. Your mouth reflects your total health, so your health history is essential in helping us provide safe and appropriate treatment. We gather diagnostic information by taking appropriate radiographs (x-rays) of the teeth and supporting structures of the mouth. A comprehensive clinical exam of hard (teeth and bones) and soft tissue is conducted by the dentist. We also use magnification glasses and intra oral cameras so you can see what we see. This comprehensive exam includes an oral cancer exam and a thorough periodontal exam. This clinical examination determines the health status of your entire mouth including smile, teeth, gums and soft tissue. The information is recorded on special charts. At follow up appointments the diagnostic information is reviewed and recommended treatment discussed and explained. Cosmetic concerns are also discussed and options reviewed. The primary goal is prevention, so treatment recommendations are directed for both control and prevention of dental disease. We review your care of teeth and gums and answer questions you may have on techniques or devices. If the periodontal health is good, a hygienist may also perform a prophylaxis at a follow up visit. Children (under 12) are provided treatment and prevention which is age appropriate. This includes an examination, prophylaxis, fluoride treaments, and radiographs (xrays) and sports guards as needed. Coordination with an orthodonitist is accomplished when indicated. We will give you a written recommendation and fee estimate for any necessary or recommended treatment. |
