What To Expect On Your First Visit
During your first visit, Dr. Ness will review your dental and medical history forms and will take any necessary X-rays of your teeth. Then, the doctor will complete a very comprehensive exam of your teeth and mouth. This exam in conjunction with the x-rays will help to create your own individual treatment plan and answer any questions that you may have.
Also at this visit, one of our hygienists will clean and polish your teeth. Sometimes additional cleaning appointments may be necessary depending on the health of your gums and the condition of the supporting bone. Please allow 2 hours for this first visit.
