Thank you for choosing our office for all your dental needs. We have created a comfortable environment where you can feel confident in the level of dental care you receive. When you arrive for your first visit, please be prepared to complete all insurance and health information forms that will allow us to begin your dental treatment. We will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office.
Your initial exam will last approximately 90 minutes. This visit will help us get acquainted with each other and learn about your goals and desires for your dental treatment. This 90 minute examination does not include having your teeth cleaned, but prior arrangements can be made to allow this additional care if needed. Oral hygiene instructions will also be provided along with suggestions to help you care for your teeth. We will do a comprehensive examination that includes:
- Checking muscles & joints that support the mouth.
- Oral Cancer screening
- Necessary x-rays-specific for your needs
- Function of joints & how the teeth come together
- Dental charting
- Health of gums & bone that support the teeth (Periodontal Health Screening)
- Intraoral pictures of all your teeth & supporting structure
- Esthetic/Smile Evaluation
We believe that good dental care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about any symptoms present that may require further dental treatment, our diagnosis, alternative treatments that may exist, and our recommendations. Sometimes an additional consultation at no charge is needed to accomplish this. Dr. Jones's philosophy is to be sure she gets all the information necessary to assure your overall oral health, then provides you with the information so you can make the best choice for you. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal-keeping your smile beautiful and your teeth, gums and jaw joints healthy!
