What will happen at my first visit?
At your first visit, we will carry out a complete exam and cleaning. Your dentist or hygienist will eliminate plaque and tartar before polishing your teeth. A visual evaluation will reveal signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer.
Your first visit will also include x-rays. Our digital imaging affords sharper, clearer pictures than standard film x-rays. Plus, the negligible radiation exposure makes them safer for you and our team. The x-ray images will provide a good point of reference to monitor your ongoing oral health. They will also allow us to make appropriate treatment recommendations should you require additional care now.
