What to expect at your 1st appointment
At our practice, all new patients are scheduled for a comprehensive New Patient Examination, during which no treatment will be administered unless it has been previously arranged, for instance, in the case of emergency appointments. Our team will dedicate a considerable amount of time to carefully understanding your dental concerns and discussing our findings with you.
If any treatment is deemed necessary, we will provide you with a thorough presentation of all the available options, giving you the freedom to choose the treatment that suits you best. We are committed to supporting you throughout the entire process.
What is involved in a New Patient Examination?
The New Patient Examination is a one-off hour long appointment with one of our caring dentists which includes the following:
Both oral health and oral cancer screenings are crucial as they can exist without showing noticeable symptoms. By conducting regular oral health screenings, we can evaluate the state of your mouth and detect early warning signs of disease, allowing us to take preventative measures promptly.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that oral cancer is the 11th most common cancer worldwide, with an incidence rate similar to thyroid cancer and melanoma. As your trusted dental professionals, we understand the importance of closely monitoring your oral health, which is why we conduct annual oral cancer screenings that involve a comprehensive visual examination of your entire mouth.
A smile analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of a person’s smile to assess its overall aesthetic appearance and function, including the teeth, gums, and lips. It involves a detailed examination of various factors, such as tooth color, shape, size, alignment, and symmetry, as well as the contours of the gums and lips.
We use our knowledge and experience to provide recommendations for improving the your smile based on your unique needs and goals. The goal of a smile analysis is to help you achieve a smile that is both attractive and functional.
After collecting all the necessary information, we will provide you with a comprehensive presentation of all the available treatment options for you to consider. We are committed to supporting you throughout the decision-making process and will assist you in selecting the treatment option that best suits your needs.
