Upon arriving for your first visit, you'll be asked to complete all health and insurance information forms that will allow us to begin your periodontal treatment. We will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office.
The initial comprehensive exam of your teeth and gums generally lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. We'll review your medical history, take your blood pressure, take a range of measurements around your teeth and gums, and take digital pictures (photographs) of your teeth, and prepare a letter that we'll send to your dentist so he or she stays well informed. After the initial exam, we will be able to diagnosis your current periodontal condition and suggest the treatment options for you. Together, we can decide on the treatment that best suits your needs and wishes.
