What should I expect at my first dental appointment?

At your first appointment, we start with taking a detailed history of any dental and/or medical conditions. You will meet one of our friendly dental hygienists who will complete an extra-oral and intra-oral exam and take a series of dental x-rays. You will meet the dentist who will review these findings and address any questions or concerns that you have with your teeth. Finally, together with the dentist, you will come up with a treatment plan specially tailored to you.
