Your first visit will take approximately 45 minutes. We invite you to arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment time to complete a medical and smile questionnaire, whilst enjoying a nespresso coffee or cup of tea. This will enable us to have a full and detailed view of your individual treatment needs.

A comprehensive dental exam will then be performed by your dentist which will include the following:

• Oral cancer screening:
  Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Examination of tooth decay: 
  All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
• Examination of existing restorations: 
  Extensive check of all you restorations.
• Gum disease evaluation: 
  Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
• Taking and examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): 
  Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, bone loss and presence of gum disease.  X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
• Intra-Oral Photographs: 
  if required your dentist will take pictures of your teeth to help in explaining you treatment and monitoring any area of concern.
• Summary and Treatment Plan: 
  your dentist will explain the findings from your examination and discuss your treatment plan with you.
