Your First Visit with Dr. Emily Dennison at Avery Dental Wellness

Welcome! Your first visit to Avery Dental Wellness starts a journey toward optimum oral health and well-being. We understand the importance of your dental health and its link to overall physical health. Our philosophy revolves around prevention, protection, and preservation, offering personalized care beyond traditional dentistry.

What to Expect

Your first visit at Avery Dental Wellness is designed to be a comfortable, thorough, and compassionate 90-minute consultation. As a new patient, here is what you can expect:

Exploration of Your Dental Wellness Profile

I will assess your oral health status using a series of digital X-rays. This will give us a detailed view of potential issues and areas needing attention.

Review of Radiographs and Gingival Readings

We will review your radiographs and gingival readings to understand your oral health. We might even use a microscope to display bacteria, pending budget approval.

Intra-oral Photo Tour and Periodontal Charting

We will map out any existing restorations and current decay using a detailed intra-oral photo tour of your mouth. Additionally, we'll conduct preliminary periodontal charting to assess your gum health.

Nutritional Assessment

If you have excessive decay, we will conduct a nutritional assessment. Understanding that diet plays a vital role in oral health, I will provide guidance on nutrition to enhance your dental wellness.

Focused on Your Health

Avery Dental Wellness is more than just dentistry. With our focus on overall dental wellness, we provide a comprehensive health review:

Health History Review

We will discuss any medications you're taking, allergies, and new health conditions that may affect your dental health.

Full Mouth Periodontal Exam and Cancer Screeningn

A full mouth periodontal exam, an oral cancer screening, and a head and neck exam will be part of your comprehensive examination to ensure your overall oral health.

Cosmetic Analysis

Believing in the importance of aesthetics for confidence, I will perform a cosmetic analysis to review the shape and shade of your teeth.

Orthodontic Evaluation and TMJ Exam

At Avery Dental Wellness, we also focus on aligning your teeth and jaw. Therefore, an orthodontic evaluation and TMJ exam will be carried out.

Saliva Testing

If necessary, we can also provide saliva testing for patients with periodontal disease or excessive decay. This is part of our commitment to providing comprehensive, personalized dental care.

Your Path to Wellness Starts Here

Your first visit with me at Avery Dental Wellness is not just about identifying problems but also about planning for a healthier future. You will leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and a personalized plan to ensure your smile stays vibrant and healthy for years.

Remember, dental health is integral to your overall health and well-being. Together, we can work towards a healthier, brighter you.

I look forward to meeting you and starting this exciting journey toward your total dental wellness.
