What does my first appointment involve?
Your first visit at Long Street Dental is longer than your subsequent check-ups, as we take time to get to know you and understand your oral health and treatment preferences. We begin with an informal chat, asking about any previous dental work or concerns, and finding out your smile goals.
The main part of your visit is a comprehensive new patient consultation, involving a full medical and dental history, clinical examination and small intraoral X-rays. We carefully assess your oral and dental health, looking for anything that may need attention.
We explain our findings to you and provide you with a written report. If you need further treatment, we explain the options available to you so you can make an informed decision about the best one for you and your budget. We also give you advice on the best way to keep your mouth healthy between check-ups.
