Your First Visit

Initial Examination

Your dentist will begin by looking over, and discussing your medical and dental history, and completing a thorough dental exam. Your exam will include a careful examination of your gums, teeth, bite, and jaw.

Treatment Plan

Based on your history and examination, your dentist will establish a long-term dental treatment plan for you. Your dentist will also take the time to answer any questions you have about your dental health and treatment options.
