What to Expect During Your Comprehensive New Patient Examination

Your initial visit to our Henley dental clinic is designed to be thorough yet comfortable, ensuring we gain a complete understanding of your oral health status. During your new patient dental check-up, you can expect:

What It Involves

A Full Oral Health Assessment
This detailed examination covers your teeth, gums, tongue, and the overall oral cavity. We’ll carefully check for any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues.
Digital X-rays (If Required)
To provide a more comprehensive view of your oral health, we may take digital X-rays. These images allow us to detect problems that might not be visible during a visual examination, such as issues between teeth or beneath the gum line.
Discussion of Your Smile Concerns
This is your opportunity to voice any worries or questions you have about your smile, from cosmetic concerns to persistent discomfort. We encourage open communication.
Personalised Recommendations
Based on our findings, we will discuss your current oral health status in detail. We’ll identify any existing issues early and recommend the most effective prevention strategies and treatment options to maintain or restore your oral health.
Tailored Oral Hygiene Advice

We’ll provide you with practical, easy-to-follow advice on brushing, flossing, and any other aspects of your daily oral care routine to optimise your dental hygiene at home. Depending on your situation, we may also refer you to our dental hygienist for further treatment.

Quick answers to questions you may have

How long does a new patient dental examination typically take?

 A new patient dental examination usually takes between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your individual needs and whether X-rays are required. This allows us ample time to conduct a thorough assessment and discuss your dental health with you.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your dental insurance information (if applicable) and a list of any medications you are currently taking. If you have any previous dental records or X-rays, bringing them along can also be helpful, though not essential.

What if I’m feeling anxious about my dental appointment?

We understand that dental anxiety is a common concern. Our team is highly experienced in caring for nervous patients. Please let us know when you book your appointment, and we can discuss ways to make your visit as comfortable as possible, such as breaking down procedures or using relaxation techniques.

Do you offer payment plans for treatments?

We strive to make quality dental care accessible. For specific treatment plans, we can discuss available payment options to help you manage costs. Please speak to our reception team for more details.

What is the difference between a new patient examination and a regular check-up?

 The new patient examination is more comprehensive than a routine check-up. It includes a detailed medical and dental history review, a thorough assessment of your entire mouth, and may involve X-rays to establish a baseline for your oral health. Subsequent regular check-ups are shorter and focus on maintaining your oral health and monitoring for any changes.
