    What to Expect During Your First Visit to Our Office

    By Ramy Bahu, DDS | Blog | Comments are Closed | 30 September, 2022 | 0

    Welcome to Aesthetic & Reconstructive Dental Associates of Chicago. We love getting to know our new patients!

    Whether you’re a new patient yourself or referring a friend or family member to our office, we know that it can be stressful to wonder just what to expect during the first visit with us. We want our new patients to be able to relax and feel confident about their choice of dental home. To that end, please review or share this description of our initial appointment.

    Greeting: Our team is ready to greet you the moment you arrive. We want you to feel comfortable when you are here. If you are anxious about your appointment, let us know. Our team is compassionate and highly experienced in helping to alleviate dental fear.

    Professional cleaning: During your first professional cleaning appointment, our expert hygienist will gently and thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar and complete the first check for potential oral health issues, such as tooth decay, sensitivity, or periodontal disease.

    Background information: We will ask you some detailed questions about your oral health and overall health, your health history, and goals for your smile. We need to know about any chronic health issues, ongoing treatments, or medications you may be taking. All of these can impact both your oral health and the treatments we recommend for you.

    Evaluation: Our dentist will thoroughly and gently examine your mouth and teeth. We may recommend x-rays for a more thorough view of your teeth and bone structure. We will check for any signs of potential oral health concerns, including an oral cancer screening. Let us know if you are experiencing any symptoms.

    Follow-up: At the end of your appointment, we will discuss our recommendations for your next appointment and any treatments you may want or need. We will also talk with you about your oral hygiene habits, how you feel about your teeth, and any goals you have for improving the appearance of your smile. We encourage you to ask every question you have so we can help you make informed choices about your care.

    Your comfort and your healthy smile are our primary focus. If you have any questions or concerns about your oral health or if you would like to review your options for improving the look of your smile, contact our office.
