What Happens During a New-Patient Dental Visit?

A typical new-patient appointment at Modern Dentistry lasts approximately 90 minutes. This gives our team enough time to thoroughly evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and explain any recommended treatment.

Your visit may include:

• Necessary digital X-rays
• A digital 3D scan of your teeth
• A head and neck examination, including an oral cancer screening
• A periodontal evaluation to assess the health of your gums
• A comprehensive examination of your teeth and bite
• A professional dental cleaning, when appropriate
• A consultation with the dentist to review findings and recommendations

Your first visit may vary depending on your dental history, current symptoms, and periodontal health. If additional treatment is needed, we will clearly explain your options and help you plan the next steps.

How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

For many patients, a preventive dental visit every six months is appropriate for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Some patients may benefit from more frequent visits because of periodontal disease, a higher risk of cavities, ongoing dental treatment, or other individual needs.

We will discuss the recommended schedule during your examination and help arrange your future appointments accordingly.
