When you see us for the first time we will want to take the time to find out how you feel about your teeth and the improvements you would like to see. Your consultation will include a discussion of your past dental and medical history as well as a thorough examination of your mouth and teeth.

Your dentist may discuss with you:
• Current problems with your mouth and teeth
• Smoking and drinking (both can affect your oral health)
• Your general health and any medication you may be taking
• Your diet, particularly if you have a problem with dental decay
• Your tooth brushing and oral hygiene at home

Your dentist will:

• Check your teeth and existing fillings or restorations
•Check the jaw joint
• Check for any signs of infection in the mouth
• Check the health of your gums for signs of disease
•Carry out any necessary special tests such as x-rays
• Check the health of your mouth for other conditions such as ulcers etc.

In simple cases we can agree a treatment plan and quotation at your first visit. In the more involved cases we may need study models of your teeth and a second visit to discuss the options with you.
