What Happens During Your First Dental Visit?
Your first appointment is designed to give you a comprehensive overview of your oral health. Here's what to expect:
1. Completing a Medical History Form
Before your appointment, you’ll need to complete a confidential medical history form. This ensures your dentist is aware of any medical conditions that could affect your dental care.
- You can complete the form at the practice or in advance online.
- All information is kept strictly confidential.
2. Thorough Clinical Examination
Your dentist will carry out a detailed clinical examination, listening carefully to any concerns or questions you may have.
This examination includes:
- Checking your teeth, gums, and mouth.
- Review your X-rays (if needed) to detect hidden dental issues.
- Take note of any specific requests or preferences you may have regarding your dental care.
Your Personalised Treatment Plan
Following your examination, your dentist will formulate a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
You’ll receive:
- A written treatment plan outlining the recommended treatments.
- An estimate of costs for each procedure.
- A detailed explanation of treatment options to help you make informed decisions.
If your case is complex, a follow-up appointment may be required to discuss the treatment plan further. This additional consultation is provided at no extra cost.
Clear Communication and Transparency
We aim to ensure that you leave your first appointment with a clear understanding of your oral health and treatment options.
At the end of your consultation, you’ll know:
- Any dental problems that need addressing.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, you can:
- Book your next appointments with our reception team.
