The Complete Oral Exam - A New Patient Experience

Hello and welcome! We are pleased that you have chosen our office for your dental care needs. The following information is intended to acquaint you with our practice so that we can establish a comfortable and successful relationship. Since the most important service we can offer you is a diagnosis, we pride ourselves on our thorough examinations. It is critical that we know what is normal and what is abnormal in your mouth, but more importantly, why things are the way they are. We will carefully study your dental and medical history, x-rays and study models and review the clinical examination findings to accurately predict your dental future.

The health and appearance of your mouth is very closely associated with your overall health and appearance. Faulty appearance and function can create problems affecting both your physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, in order for us to effectively diagnose your oral health (as it relates to your general well-being), we require the following:

1st Appt: Gathering Diagnostic Tools

Study Models:	Panoramic X-ray:	Bitewing X-rays:
To help you understand the overall position of your teeth To help detect misplaced teeth, broken fillings, etc. To help determine the relationship of top teeth to bottom teeth	To diagnose missing permanent or un-erupted teeth To indicate the presence of cysts, tumors, abscesses, etc. To demonstrate the health level of bon holding your teeth	To detect new or recurrent decay around teeth & under old fillings To detect areas of decay between teeth

2nd Appt: Clinical Examination

obtain a detailed dental and medical history
chart existing dental procedures
probe and chart periodontal pockets to determine the health of gums and supporting structures
relate the current condition of restorations and bone levels using an intra-oral camera

3rd Appt: New Patient Consultation

A few days after the first and second appointments a Diagnostic Report will be prepared for you and given to you at your “New Patient Consultation” time. Your written personal diagnostic report is a comprehensive review of your examination findings. While you are reading this report, questions may arise in your mind and we encourage you to make note of them so that they may be fully discussed. At your Consultation Appointment, you will be able to sit down with your dentist one-to-one to discuss your study models, x-rays, diagnostic report and the results of your examination. Your dentist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that will suit your needs and achieve the results you want for yourself. Of course, we will always discuss your treatment options where possible, and provide you with a written estimate for the pertinent fees.
