Before any treatment begins, we'll ask you to complete a new patient form covering your medical and dental history. This helps your dentist understand your overall health, any medications you're taking, and any concerns you'd like addressed — so your care plan is built around you, not a generic checklist.
Your dentist will carry out a thorough intra-oral and extra-oral examination, which typically includes checking:
Your tongue, lips, cheeks and throat, as part of a general soft tissue and oral health checkYour teeth for decay, wear or damageAny existing dental work, such as crowns, fillings or veneersYour gums and the surrounding bone and tissueYour bite and jaw joint (TMJ)
Where clinically indicated, we'll take x-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health, including:
Once your examination is complete, your dentist will walk you through the findings in plain language — no jargon — and outline your treatment options, along with the benefits and considerations of each. You're always in control of the pace: we'll help you prioritise what's most important first, and build a plan that fits your budget, timeline and lifestyle, with your informed consent at every step.
