How long will my appointment take?
The first
appointment for a new patient is 30 to 45 minutes. We will do a thorough
examination of the teeth, gums and soft tissues, check the bite and aesthetics,
and where there is a presenting problem, try to alleviate pain or discomfort at
that first visit. If needed, we will also take X-rays to develop a treatment
plan. This plan will outline what needs to be done either in one or two
appointments or in a staged approach to get the ideal result over time to fit
in with finances. Alternatives to the ideal will also be discussed and costed,
with item numbers so health fund benefits can be obtained.
