Your first appointment will be a committed time to address your concerns, gather data (medical history review, digital x-rays, gum measurement, intraoral photos), and complete a thorough exam. Your dental health will be evaluated, and your risks for dental disease will be assessed in four different categories:

Gum and Bone: We examine gum tissue, complete gum pocket measurements, evaluate for gum inflammation and/ or bone loss. We will assess your risk for gingivitis and/ or periodontal disease and discuss ways to reduce risks.

Tooth Structure: We examine for structural damages of teeth such as cavities, fractures, broken fillings, and other compromises in the actual structure of each tooth. We will assess your risk for structural damage and discuss ways to reduce risks.

Bite and Jaw Joint: We examine how your teeth bite together and how that bite relates to any jaw joint problems. We evaluate tooth wear patterns, joint pain, and issues related to an uneven bite. We will assess your risk for TMJ disorders and bite problems and discuss ways to reduce risks.

Smile Characteristics: Lastly and as an option, we can discuss ways to enhance your smile. Our office offers the full range of treatments to improve the smile, from whitening to ceramic veneers to Invisalign orthodontics.
