Our initial meeting will be focused on getting to know you, explore what’s important to you for oral health, and learn about what you expect from us.
At the start of your visit, we will review your medical/dental history, listen to your concerns, and organize any records you may have from your previous dentist(s) and/or physicians. Then, along with Dr. Lin, you’ll be an active participant in a thorough dental exam that may include photographs, dental x-rays, evaluation of jaw joints, oral cancer/soft tissue screening, and full charting of your teeth and gums.
Depending on the complexity of your dental status, we may review the exam findings and treatment goals for you at the end of the first visit or we may invite you to return for a shorter second appointment for discussion. You’ll have time to review the findings from your exam with us, gain an understanding about what it all means, and look at options for treatment. Dr. Lin will give you recommendations based on your goals – then the decisions are up to you.
