Were a general and cosmetic dental practice that strives to restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Through a combination of conservative procedures and state-of-the-art dental technology we can help you achieve the beautiful, long-lasting smile that you desire.
On your first visit with us, we will begin by listening to your dental concerns and attempt to answer all of your questions thoroughly. We will gather information about your overall health. It is important for us to know what medical conditions you may have and any prescriptions and over-the-counter medications you are taking. Although they may seem to be unrelated to your mouth, medical conditions and medications may have an effect on your dental health.
Prior to beginning your oral examination, we will take appropriate x-rays to assist us in checking your teeth. Next, we will provide a comprehensive examination, where we will look at much more than just your teeth. We will check other areas inside and outside of your mouth for signs of disease or other problems. This is known as an oral cancer screening exam. We will check your occlusion, or how well your teeth fit together by examining your bite, and do a clinical examination of the teeth using the x-rays we took to aid us. This will involve checking your fillings, permanent crowns, bridges, or other restorations to make sure they are intact as well as checking all surfaces of the teeth to make sure there is no decay present. Finally, we will do a periodontal examination where we check your gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot this past year, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.
