What will your first visit be like?
Restorative and reconstructive dentistry, prosthetics, bonding, implants...??? Before you can decide what is right for you, you need to understand your choices. You want someone who will give you the time you deserve, and explain your options. Dentistry today has so much to offer. It has to begin with a comprehensive exam and diagnosis.
Unless there is some immediate concern, urgency, or you strictly want a cosmetic consult, the first visit will
involve a comprehensive exam. Before you and our Doctors can determine what is
possible for long-term stability with regard to comfort, function, health and esthetics, your current
condition is assessed. Your comprehensive exam is a baseline for future comparisons and is the basis
for a lifetime master plan for oral health.
For every INITIAL EVALUATION, we:
- Review your medical and dental history
- Clarify your concerns and identify special needs
- Examine your Head, Neck and Mouth for cancer
- Examine and evaluate the health of your Gums
- Examine your teeth for decay, cracks, wear etc.

If your condition warrants further evaluation we may:
