During your first visit with us we will ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire to provide us with the information which helps us understand your medical and dental history and how we can better help you. If you wish, you can download a copy of the medical history questionnaire to fill out in advance of your appointment.

We may then need to take x-rays to get a clear and thorough picture of the current health of your teeth and gums. We use digital x rays which have up to 90% less radiation than conventional x rays. During this visit we will discuss with you any concerns you may have and together come up with a plan that you are comfortable and happy with.
