A dental consultation is a non-invasive visit to discuss your questions, concerns, and develop a treatment plan. This consultation will provide you with information to better understand your smile needs and oral health. We recommend a consultation before any major dental procedure, including cosmetic surgery and smile remodeling.
A dental consultation typically includes X-rays, a review of your dental history, and an examination. Due to current restrictions, cleanings are not permitted during dental consultations, but the following points can help you plan your consultation.
Review Your Options
Most dental problems have multiple solutions. We can tailor the best solution for you based on your budget, comfort, and aesthetic preferences. You will have different options; for example, if you choose veneers, you can choose between porcelain veneers and composite veneers.
During your consultation, we will discuss all available options. We will also ask you questions to determine the best plan based on your needs.
Understanding Treatment Options
Some dental treatments are complex. Before deciding on a treatment, you should understand what to expect. Asking any questions and concerns will help us explain your treatment options and potential outcomes in detail, helping you better understand and visualize your smile. If you’re nervous or afraid of treatment, this is also a great time to calm your nerves.
Check Your Eligibility
Every dental plan is highly personalized. Every patient’s situation is different, and each requires a customized smile design. Even though treatment options may be similar, no two are exactly alike. Additionally, your health status can affect your suitability for certain treatment options. During your consultation, you should discuss all your health issues and medications so we can understand any obstacles and take action before treatment.
Provide Additional Care Recommendations
We want everyone to be able to practice proper dental care at home. However, many patients may overlook important steps in their daily dental care, which we can discuss during your consultation.
We can also provide you with detailed information to help you properly care for and protect your teeth. This is especially important after major restorative dental surgery, as you want to ensure not only the protection of your newly restored teeth, but also any newly placed implants, fillings, dentures, veneers, or other implants.
Learn About Payment Plans
We offer a variety of payment plans and are happy to discuss them with you during your dental consultation. We accept payment from all major health insurance companies.
A dental consultation can give you a better understanding of your future path forward and next steps.
