Get to know each other a little better

Listen to any concerns you may have and get an understanding of your past dental history

Try to make you as comfortable as possible whilst with us

Look at the condition of your mouth holistically. We check on the condition of your skin, the mucosa (skin) in the mouth, your teeth including how your upper and lower jaws relate to each other and your gums as well as the overall aesthetics of your teeth and smile

Talk about your current oral health and any dental needs and wishes you want addressed

Discuss the taking of an x-ray or a series of x-rays as each patient’s needs dictates. (Often this can consist of four small films called bitewings as well as a panoramic film but we will discuss our recommendation with each patient prior to being taken.)
