On the day of your appointment, it’s a good idea to arrive a few minutes early, particularly for new patients. You may need to fill out some paperwork before your appointment, alternatively you can complete our New Patient Form online from the link below, for your convenience.

As a new patient, you will first see the dentist for a full comprehensive exam or if you have a dental emergency, this will be attended to first.

During this exam the dentist will discuss your health history and any concerns you may have. Feel free to ask the dental assistant and/or dentist about your treatment or other dental concerns at any time during the visit.

Aside from looking at your teeth, your gums, soft tissues, jaw joints and facial muscles will be examined. X-rays are usually taken at this appointment, to assist in this exam. In addition to this, photos may be taken with a high resolution intra-oral camera in order to see and document, what is happening inside your mouth.

The dentist will discuss any findings and all appropriate options and create a treatment plan with you, that you feel comfortable with, in order to achieve and maintain good oral health. This treatment plan may be for issues that you may need to attend to straight away or over a period of time.
