Everything you need to know about your first appointment, from what to expect during your examination to understanding your treatment options and associated costs.
What happens at your first appointment
02
A Full Assessment
A thorough examination of your teeth, gums, bite and oral soft tissues, including oral cancer screening and digital X-rays where clinically indicated.
03
Photographs and Scans
Where appropriate, we use clinical photographs and digital 3D intraoral scanning to help assess your dental health and explain our findings clearly, allowing you to better understand your oral health and treatment options.
04
A Written Plan
We discuss our findings and explain the available treatment options, including the benefits and limitations of each. Where appropriate, we provide our professional recommendations to help you make a fully informed decision about your care.
You will receive a clear written treatment plan and cost estimate. More complex cases may require additional planning before a final proposal is prepared, and you will always have time to consider your options before proceeding.

BEFORE YOU REGISTER
Questions we get asked first
Do I need to register before I can book?
No. Book a new patient examination and the paperwork is done when you arrive.
I am moving from another practice — how does that work?
Book in as a new patient and we will take it from there. With your permission we can request your records and recent X-rays from your previous dentist, which sometimes saves repeating them.
What do I need to bring to my first appointment?
A list of any medication you take, and the name of your doctor. If you have had recent dental treatment elsewhere it helps to know roughly when and what.
Can I register my children at the same time?
Yes, and we would encourage it. Family appointments can usually be booked back to back so you are only making one trip into town.
What if I am nervous about seeing a dentist?
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel daunting, particularly if you haven’t attended for some time. Please let us know when booking so we can make appropriate arrangements and take the time to discuss any concerns. Your first appointment will focus on understanding your needs, assessing your oral health and explaining your options. Any treatment will only proceed with your informed consent.
