Your First Visit
Your first visit to our
office is the most important one. It gives both of us an opportunity to
get to know each other. Establishing a good relationship is vital to
achieving our common goals of improving and maintaining your dental
health.
For some patients,
the first visit is an emergency or a specific urgent concern. Of
course, we will attend to the emergency situation first and make you
comfortable.
If there is not an
emergency concern, the first visit typically involves taking any
necessary x-rays, a comprehensive exam, diagnosis, and treatment
planning. This takes approximately one hour. This time is necessary to
accomplish several goals. After taking the necessary x-rays, Dr.
Wardlaw will sit down with you to discuss your concerns and desires of
improving your dental health. He will review your x-rays along with
your medical and dental histories. Next we will take a tour of your
mouth using an intra-oral video camera. You will be able to see your
teeth from a whole new perspective on a television monitor. Dr. Wardlaw
thorough evaluation of your oral health include an examination of all
of the "soft tissues" including an oral cancer screening and evaluation
of the supporting gums. Each tooth will be examined for decay or
defective restorations. Dr. Wardlaw will then discuss and outline a plan
for any recommended treatment. If your condition requires complex
planning, a separate consultation, or "review of findings," may be
needed. There is no additional charge for this visit.
Once a treatment
plan has been proposed, you will receive a computerized printout of the
involved treatment along with the associated fees. You will also
receive a customized Financial Options form detailing the payment
methods available through our office.
Please note that
typically a "cleaning" is not done during the first visit. Experience
has shown us that every patient's needs are different. We cannot
anticipate what kind of cleaning a patient needs or how much time is
required without an examination. In order to provide the best treatment
possible, the appropriate amount of time should be reserved for
preventive care. After the first visit, cleaning and checkups will be
done at the same time.
We look forward
to meeting you at your first visit!
