Benny, our office therapy dog, wanted to show you exactly what to expect at a new patient appointment at Prairie Village Dentists! 😃🐾🦷
Your first visit is about more than just looking at your teeth. We take the time to collect the information we need, understand your concerns and goals, get to know you, and establish a strong foundation for your relationship with your care team. 💙
Your new patient visit includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, a thorough gum health assessment, a full-mouth 3-D digital scan, and an airway assessment. When appropriate, we may also use CBCT imaging to provide a 3-D view of your teeth, jaw, bone, airway, and surrounding structures. 🔎🦷
We’ll review your findings with you and help you understand what we’re seeing, what may need attention, and what your next steps should be! 😊
You may also notice that your new patient exam and your cleaning are scheduled separately.
That’s intentional! We don’t want to rush through the data collection and getting-to-know-you portion of your first visit just to fit in a cleaning. That time lays the groundwork for your entire patient-clinician relationship moving forward. 🤝
We also don’t always know what type of cleaning will be most appropriate until we’ve completed your exam and evaluated your gum health. Especially if it’s been more than six months since your last routine cleaning, we want to make sure we’re recommending the type of professional cleaning that best supports your current oral health. 🪥✨
Your first visit should leave you feeling understood and informed. 💙
