New Patients

A first visit is mostly listening.

Nothing is decided before you have been examined and had it explained to you.

The appointment

What happens.

  1. A conversation about your dental history and anything currently bothering you.
  2. An examination of teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues.
  3. Imaging where it is needed to see between or below the teeth.
  4. A plain explanation of what was found, and a sensible order for dealing with it.
If you have not been to a dentist in a long time, that is a normal reason to book rather than a reason not to.

Questions

What should I bring to my first visit?

Any dental insurance details you have, a list of medications you take, and the name of your previous dentist if there are records to transfer.

How long will the first appointment take?

Longer than a routine visit, because it includes a full examination and a conversation about your history. Ask when you book so you can plan your day.

I am nervous about the dentist. What can I do?

Say so when you book, and again when you arrive. Being told in advance changes how an appointment is run — the pace, the explanation, and the option to stop and check in. It is a very common thing to raise.
