First Visit

Consultation with your Periodontist

At your first appointment, your periodontist will:

  • Review your medical and dental history (including any medications or conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or pregnancy).
  • Examine your gums for signs of recession or inflammation.
  • Assess for loose teeth.
  • Measure the depth of spaces (pockets) between your teeth and gums with a small probe.
  • Take X-rays to evaluate the bone supporting your teeth.

This thorough evaluation helps your periodontist design a personalized treatment plan.

Consultation with your Endodontist

At your first appointment, your Endodontist will:

  • Review your medical and dental history (including any medications or conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or pregnancy).
  • Take a CBCT scan(3D x-ray) of the area of concern.
  • Complete a series of tests to determine the health of your teeth.
  • Review the CBCT scan(3D x-ray) and testing results with you.

This thorough evaluation helps your Endodontist determine the necessary treatment needed for you.
