Dental Consultation

WEBVTT 00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.160 The first visit at my office is a consultation. 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:12.800 With this visit, our main goals are for my team and I to really understand what 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.840 you want to change about your smile. 00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:19.575 This sometimes will involve getting records and doing what we call a dental 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.655 physical, where we essentially get all of the history needed for me to 00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:26.720 create a full treatment plan. 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.520 This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to about an hour and a half. 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:36.775 One thing you may notice is that my team and I are very thorough, and we take the 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:40.000 time to explain the process from start to finish. 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:42.880 When I'm creating a treatment plan that's tailored to you, there are a 00:00:42.905 --> 00:00:44.280 few factors that I look into. 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.080 The first is the health of your overall mouth. 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.055 I also look at the structure and the foundation of your teeth, so 00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:54.520 I look at your gums and bone. 00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:58.240 I look at the way that your teeth move together and the function. 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.920 I also look at the aesthetics and the reasons that you came into the office. 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:09.055 I take all of these into account to create a treatment plan that gets you the 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:10.520 perfect smile that you're looking for.
