What to Expect on Your First Dental Visit:
At The New Jersey Center for Laser and Cosmetic Dentistry, we know that seeing a new dentist for the first time can sometimes cause anxiety. Rest assured, Dr. DalBon and his amazing team are here to alleviate your worries. Below is the step by step process on what to expect during your first dental visit.
Our office manager Ingrid will warmly greet you and assist in gathering some background information including your individual information, medical and dental history and any concerns you would like addressed.
Next, our dental assistants will take intra and extraoral photo along with a complete set of digital (low radiation) x-rays. They will also record your blood pressure and pulse.
Once Dr. DalBon reviews the photos and x-rays, it is time for your exam. Dr. DalBon will record any missing teeth, existing restoration and determine if any dental treatment is needed. This is followed by a comprehensive periodontal and occlusal examination to diagnose if you are suffering from gum disease. Finally, he will perform an advanced Oral Cancer examination using the Oral ID System.
This will complete the information gathering appointment. From here, you and Dr. DalBon will review all the gathered data to formulate a comprehensive treatment plan which is individually designed to address your personal dental wants and needs.
