During your initial visit, we will review your medical and dental history, as well as gather any medical clearances if necessary. You will be able to discuss what motivates you to seek dental care and any emotional concerns or fears you may have. We will collect diagnostic information including but not limited to x-rays and intraoral photos. Dr. Patel will perform an oral cancer screening, examine your gum tissue and evaluate the condition of your jaw joints and bite. We will chart any prior or existing decay and review oral hygiene instructions with you. Once all of the diagnostic information has been gathered, you will be scheduled back for a full treatment plan consultation with Dr. Patel.
