New Patients Information
We want your first visit to be simple, stress-free, and informative. At our Bayswater clinics, we take the time to understand your dental needs and concerns so we can provide the best care possible. Here’s what to expect at your first appointment.
Before your appointment.
We respect your time and want to make your visit as smooth as possible. Once you’ve booked your appointment, we’ll send you a link to your secure patient portal. Here, you can complete a detailed questionnaire from the comfort of your home. This helps your dentist understand your medical history, concerns, and preferences before you arrive, allowing us to prepare for your visit and avoid unnecessary follow-ups.
If you prefer, one of our friendly staff members can assist you in completing the form at the clinic before your appointment.
What happens during your first visit?
Your initial appointment is a comprehensive dental examination designed to assess your oral health in detail. This typically includes:
✔ Diet and Hygiene Assessment – We’ll review your eating habits and oral care routine to see how they impact your teeth and gums.
✔ Head and Neck Examination – Checking for any abnormalities, swelling, or signs of concerns beyond your teeth.
✔ Oral Cancer Screening – A quick but essential check to detect any early signs of oral cancer.
✔ Aesthetic Evaluation – If you’re considering cosmetic improvements, we’ll discuss options to enhance your smile.
✔ Risk Assessment for Decay & Gum Disease – We analyze your risk for cavities and gum disease based on your lifestyle, medical history, and oral health condition.
Additional testing for holistic care.
We know that many patients want more control over their oral health. Our practice takes a holistic approach, offering additional tests to provide deeper insights into your health:
Oral Biome Testing – Analyzing the bacteria in your mouth to understand its impact on your overall health.
IgG Antibody Allergen Testing – Identifying any allergens that may be affecting your oral or systemic health.
These advanced tests allow us to take a preventative approach, ensuring long-term health beyond just treating symptoms.
After Your Examination
Once your examination is complete, we’ll take high-quality photographs of your teeth and face to document your current oral health. With your consent, we’ll then create a treatment plan based on your needs and priorities:
Address Immediate Issues
We focus on any active concerns such as cavities, infections, or gum problems.
Strengthen Your Teeth
We make sure your teeth are healthy, functional, and well-supported.
Enhance Your Smile
If you’re interested in cosmetic improvements, we can explore options like whitening, veneers, or orthodontics once your oral health is stable.
Your first visit will be comfortable and productive.
We are committed to making sure your first visit is clear, comfortable, and informative. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a full understanding of your oral health and a step-by-step plan to keep your smile strong for years to come.
