Your first visit
What to expect at your first visit
Your first visit does not need to begin with a procedure. It begins with a thoughtful conversation and a careful assessment of your oral health.
Your first meeting
A first meeting to understand, assess and guide.
The purpose is to understand what brought you in, organise priorities and explain alternatives. If additional records are useful, you will understand the reason for each one before moving forward.
What happens
Four stages, with no pressure to decide.
Tell us what brought you in
We talk about discomfort, goals, previous experiences and what you expect from care.
Health and functional assessment
We look at teeth, gums, bite, movement and any signs that need further investigation.
Records when needed
Photographs, radiographs or scans may support diagnosis — only when they have a clear purpose.
Options and next steps
We explain priorities, alternatives, stages and costs so you can decide without pressure.
Before the consultation
What is useful to bring or share
- Recent dental records, if you have them
- A list of medicines and relevant health conditions
- Information about previous dental treatment
- Questions, concerns or accessibility needs
