Awesome Smiles Dental is big on general dentistry.
We do, do all the big things, but we believe that if we do the basic things well, then we might be able to prevent you from needing anything major.
Therefore, with all our new patients, we will spend TIME, for us to get to know each other, we will carefully listen to your needs, work out your concerns and tailor treatment options that are most suitable for you.
You will usually be asked to fill out a simple questionnaire, which helps us to know a bit more about you. Then we will spend some time discussing your concerns, your needs and your wants. This is all before we looked into your mouth.
We then invite you into the surgery for a check-up, which involves taking digital X-Rays of back and front teeth depending on the needs. Our experienced dentists will carefully examine visually all areas of your mouth with a high power magnifying loupe. Record digitally all issues discovered. Sometimes intra-oral digital images are taken to help with visualizing the problems when we explain the conditions.
A through dental scale and clean is usually carried out at the initial appointment or subsequent hygiene visit. Awesome Smiles Dental has patients who frequently comment that they have never experienced such a good clean.
We will usually formulate a short-term treatment plan at this visit, and then work out a long-term plan to keep your teeth healthy for years to come.
We consider a major part of our responsibility is to help our patients understand and plan for their future dental health needs.
