A 90-minute journey of discovery
First and foremost, we need to understand you. Only then can we gather our records. A clinical exam, digital x rays, teeth pictures, full arch radiographs, computerised joint records, bite and cancer screening, salivary analysis. And a smile assessment and teeth charting.
So you can choose what’s right for you.
It’s now time to review all your options so you can choose what’s best for you. Our goal is for you to understand the issues and your choices, and we’ll use computer images and demonstration models to assist. Options, costs and risks of treatment need to be balanced against benefits until a clear choice can be made that suits you best.
Some people still like to leave it up to us, but we still prefer you to understand why we made our final recommendations.
But no cleaning on the first visit.
We don’t want to do anything until you’ve decided we’re right for you. And besides, just cleaning isn’t enough to treat gum disease. This insidious, painless disease is now the number one cause of tooth loss, and needs proper prevention and care.
And it costs nothing to ask more questions.
We don’t want to start until you’re 100% happy with us and your treatment.
So we allow two further consultations at no charge and you’ll get your final choice as a written, costed treatment plan.
