If your first visit is for a dental emergency, you will be seeing our dentist right away and we will do our best to relieve you. This is not a usual system of working but emergencies are always given priority.

However if your visit is a routine check-up with the intention to join our practice, you will be assessed by our dentist on your oral health. This first assessment is a walk through to establish baseline records, details of your past dental history and discuss your dental expectations and future line of treatment. At this visit you may also have digital X-rays and high definition photographs made to create an overview of your mouth. This helps us to fully record and share with you the present oral status you are in. This information is useful to arrive at discuss cost prior to any procedure.
