What happens at a first visit
-
You explain what is going on
In your own words. What bothers you, how long it has, and what you would like to be different.
-
Examination and records
An examination of the teeth, gums and bite, with x-rays or a scan where they are needed to see what an examination cannot.
-
A diagnosis, and the options
Including what happens if you do nothing, which is a legitimate option and is treated as one. Where more than one approach is reasonable, you are told the trade-offs rather than steered.
-
A written plan before anything begins
The sequence, the stages, the number of visits and the cost, set out in advance. Complex treatment designed as it goes is how people end up somewhere they did not agree to.
If you are anxious
Say so when you call. A first appointment can be arranged where nothing happens except talking. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is available for nervous patients.
