Your Comprehensive First Visit

Dental Examination

Manhattan, New York

Your first visit will include a comprehensive oral examination. First, your doctor will listen to your concerns and desires to better formulate a personally-tailored treatment plan. A thorough medical history, soft tissue exam, oral cancer screening, and periodontal evaluation will follow.

The periodontal evaluation includes documenting your gingiva level, assessing plaque and calculus levels, diagnosing periodontal disease, and planning periodontal maintenance or further treatment. Digital images will be taken to aid in the diagnosis, and any past x-rays you supply will be used to compare past and present conditions. All existing fillings, decay, and needed work will then be evaluated.

A cosmetic consultation will also be given, addressing any of your concerns and desires, and putting the priority of esthetics in perspective. For patients desiring cosmetic treatment, before and after photos of completed cases are presented so that you may see what results can be expected. Through a computer imaging system, we can use your photo and enhance it to show you what you will look like after cosmetic treatment.

A full, comprehensive treatment plan will be presented and further treatment will be discussed with your full participation. With all of our new patients’ records being fully computerized, your full evaluation, treatment plan, fees, and timing of treatment is charted and easily accessible.
