Initial examination

The first step towards a healthy smile.

Your initial examination is a key step towards quality care for your teeth and gums. During your first visit to our dental office, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your teeth, gums, and oral soft tissues. This evaluation forms the foundation for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your health needs, expectations, and preferences.

How do we carry out your first dental check-up?

The initial examination is the first and most important step in creating an individualized plan for your oral health care. Whether you come to us with a specific problem or are just looking for a new dentist, our goal is to thoroughly assess the condition of your oral cavity and propose the best possible solutions. Here is an overview of what to expect during your first visit:

  • Reception and Documentation: At your first visit, we’ll carefully create your medical records to ensure personalized and safe care.
  • Comprehensive Health Questionnaire: You’ll be asked to complete a detailed form covering your general health, past illnesses, current medications, and any allergies. This information is vital for planning your dental treatment safely and effectively.
