Dental exams here at Whangaparaoa Dental Centre is a complete breakdown and assessment of your current oral health. This will include firstly some x-rays, a few tests to check the status of your teeth. We will then proceed to undergo a scale and polish to access your gum health and give it a good clean. After this, if needed, we will discuss any form of dental treatment that would further need to be done. We will work together with you to look at your concerns, and discuss your expectations with us, to create an easy-going environment.
Before we rush to make your dental treatment plan, we will discuss with you what is needing to be done, the estimated costs, how long it will take and how many sessions you will need. Then based on your preferences, we will then formulate a perfect treatment plan for you personally, with the dentist’s full recommendations.
Before you see the Dentist, if you are a new patient, we ask that you fill in a form. This form asks for your relevant personal information and your past medical history, to give us any indication of any medications that are being taken or health matters that need to be considered. If you do have a medication list, do feel free to give us a copy for us to store.
If you are an existing patient with us, if you have any changes, do let us know so we can take care of you the best way possible. These forms are kept completely confidential within the practice.
