New Patient Visit

As you first walk through our doors, our team will make you feel comfortable, greet you by your first name, offer you a drink, and escort you to a seat in our consultation room. One of our dentists and a team member will talk to you for perhaps an hour and a half to understand your needs and to conduct a comprehensive examination. This may include a review of your dental and medical history, an oral cancer screening, dental x-rays, periodontal charting, education on home-care and periodontal disease, a full TMJ exam including muscle palpations, and possibly a diagnosis. For some patients, it can be an emotional event, charged with painful memories of previous dental visits, and a renewed hope of what can be accomplished. We have helped many phobic patients renew their faith in dentistry and achieve the smile of their dreams. Should you have any questions or concerns before your appointment, please do not hesitate to call.

Preventive Care

During regular check-ups and recall visits, we take care to ensure the ongoing health of your teeth. In particular, we strive to prevent cavities and disease by using:

Diagnostic x-rays
Fluoride treatments and sealants
Routine periodontal (gum) examinations
Oral cancer screenings

Periodontal Disease Management

Time and gum disease can shrink the underlying bone and gum tissue that hold your teeth in place, collapsing the proportions of your face, exposing tooth roots and adding years to your appearance.

Early detection is the key to avoiding costly and painful dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and periodontal disease. In fact, the major cause of tooth loss in adults is periodontal disease, which is known as the silent killer of teeth because most patients feel no symptoms until it’s too late. With regular dental visits, we can treat gum disease at an early stage, before it gets out of hand.
