Are Your a New Dental Patient?
If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at your dental appointment. Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Shoreline Dental Studio.
Let’s Get To Know Each Other
A new dental patient can expect easy parking, a friendly welcome tour, and a gift upon arrival. During your first visit, our well-trained staff get to know you, your goals, and any concerns you may have regarding treatment.
In the time we spend together, we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your care as individual as you are.
Part of getting to know you and providing safe, personalized support involves reviewing your medical history. Certain medical conditions and medications can influence your treatment protocols – so you will be asked to provide a list of your medications and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements).
Next, a full-mouth series of x-rays and a comprehensive oral exam of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw will be performed, including a non-invasive oral cancer screening.
