Do you accept new patients?
Yes, we accept new patients. As a benefit to our patients, our
dental practice keeps well abreast of the latest developments in preventive, restorative
and cosmetic dentistry. As leaders in general dentistry we will do everything
possible to provide you with the excellence in dental care that you've come to expect and
deserve.
What happens on my first visit?
Standard
procedures and common sense dictate that a visual exam of a new patient and current x-rays
occur before a cleaning is performed. (See hygiene examination).
We try to get to know you and to become familiar with your past dental experience,
and your present needs and desires. We discuss the cause of gum disease and dental
decay. We also discuss preventive measures that can improve your dental
health. We complete a dental examination that includes soft tissue exam (oral cancer
screening), look at the teeth noting anything wrong with existing restorations or the
teeth themselves, evaluate the TMJ (jaw joints), gum tissues and x-rays when needed.
We put this information together and decide on required and desired treatment that
best fit your needs and dental health. How do I know
what procedure I really need?
Some conditions are hard to see with the naked
eye; however, they can be seen clearly with the assistance of an x-ray.
Emergency Patients are always accepted!
If you are in an accident and experience tooth trauma call our
office immediately. If it after hours our service will relay the message.
