We would like to invite you to our dental practice. During your first visit we would like to perform a comprehensive exam. During this time, we find out your main concerns and develop a customized treatment plan to address them. A Customised Treatment Plan will outline the steps needed to keep your mouth healthy and how to have a smile that looks and feels good.
The examination will include:-
1. Taking magnified pictures of your teeth with an Intra-oral camera and showing them to you on a T.V
2. Take digital x-rays of your teeth – some cavities and bone infections can only be seen with x-rays.
3. Oral cancer screening – 8,000 people a year will die from oral cancer. Early detection is important.
4. TMJ exam – we’ll evaluate your jaw joint for any possible problems and see if you are suffering pain or grinding/wearing your teeth down.
5. Cavity Detection/Filling Evaluation – we’ll carefully look at your teeth and old fillings. Cavities found earlier can be treated more conservatively and inexpensively
6. If you would like we could also do a cosmetic evaluation and let you know about how new technology can improve your smile.
Of course if you are in pain, our main concern will be to get you out of pain. We can schedule a comprehensive exam for your next visit.
If you would like your teeth professionally cleaned at your first visit we can arrange a longer appointment. If this is not possible Dr.Cassimatis can professionally clean your teeth and do a periodontal (gum) evaluation at another appointment. Gum disease is the No.1 cause of tooth loss and up to 80% of the population has some form of it.
