What to Expect on Your First Visit
We look forward to meeting you at Aspen Smile! During your first visit we’ll help you get acquainted with our office. We’ll want to get to know you better, too, so you can expect your first visit to last about an hour and a half. You will meet with a hygienist who will carefully review your medical history and overall health.
During your initial visit to our Aspen dental office, we’ll also discuss your oral health and dental care expectations. If you haven’t had a full set of dental x-rays within the past 3 years, this will be part of your comprehensive oral examination, which also includes:
- Measuring periodontal pockets to determine your gum health
- Evaluating your dental hygiene, daily oral routines, and plaque accumulation
- Assessing any existing fillings and any areas of pain and sensitivity
- Noting signs of grinding or clenching
- Screening for oral cancer
- Evaluating your bite and addressing any concerns about the position of your teeth
After the assessments are complete, you’ll work with the dentist to develop a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Depending on the complexity of your gum health, you may or may not receive a routine cleaning at this initial appointment. We want to make sure that you are properly examined and understand your oral health prior to beginning any treatment.
We will provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of any concerns, and should it be warranted, a written summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment, goals, and estimated fees.
