About
The Initial Consultation
Prior to your consultation you will be asked to complete confidential Medical
History and Dental History forms.
We place great value on spending time with you gathering information; discussing
with you your needs and expectations, and answering any questions you may have, as
well as carrying out a thorough examination of the jaw joints, teeth, gums, and
supporting tissues with some appropriate x-rays to aid in the diagnosis.
In most instances, your dentist will have sufficient information at this appointment to formulate a treatment plan. If any treatment is required or recommended, you will be provided with a copy of the treatment plan along with details of costs and timescales.
In complex situations it may only be possible to provide a broad overview at the first appointment. In which case, you may be asked to return for further appointments for treatment planning, where we will carry out diagnostic tests and a more detailed analysis in order to provide a comprehensive report.
All plans will encompass suitable preventative advice.
Please feel free to contact the practice if you require further information or clarification on any aspect of your treatment.
