Your first dental visit to our Dentist- We welcome New patients to Heritage Dental Group

Gentle Dentist indooroopillyIf you are concerned or unaware about the condition of your teeth, its best to see a dentist.

Generally, the first visit to the Dentist is about determining the present condition of your teeth, examining the work done in the past and future treatment planning to keep your oral health in good condition.

On your first visit to Heritage Dental Group, you will be welcomed by our friendly caring staff and asked to fill out a medical and dental history form. This information gives your Dentist a good understanding of your dental and medical health to better plan your treatment needs.

We have appointments available for New Patients every day.

What happens at the first dental visit?

1.Oral Assessment-Once you are in the treatment room, dentist will do your oral assessment. He will discuss with you any dental health indicators like:

  • Sensitive Teeth
  • Brushing and flossing techniques
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Bleeding and receding gums
  • Discoloured teeth

2.Photographs and X-Rays-After discussing any condition related to your oral health the dentist will use the latest dental technology to take:

  • Digital photographs of your teeth
  • Digital X-Rays inside your mouth
  • If required OPG or 3D Scan

3.Current condition and future treatment planning-All the above technologies will help you and the Dentist understand your mouth and teeth and plan according to your needs. The Dentist will explain everything to you by forming a treatment plan, showing you the condition of your teeth via x-rays and digital photographs, time-frame and costs involved.
