Your First Visit at KianS Dental Studio
A one-on-one interview to review your medical and dental history. This is a great time to
share any particular needs or concerns you may have related to dentistry. Intra oral
exam, which includes a soft tissue exam (Oral Cancer Screening*) and detection of
tooth decay, wear and fractures. We will also assess the function and alignment of teeth
for indications of the potential need for orthodontics as well as the replacement of
missing teeth.
Periodontal exam to detect periodontal disease. The examination and probing of gum
help to identify the overall state of the gum and the bone support. This information is
important to determine the type and extent of the cleaning you need, as well as the
frequency.
We will also take any necessary radiographs, which may include a full series of x-rays,
as well as a panoramic radiograph. The radiographic exam will give us a full view of
teeth and jaw for the most comprehensive examination.
We may take intraoral photos depending on your needs and general oral health. This is
done with a small wand that contains a camera. These photos are useful to better
determine what is happening in your mouth. They are also helpful to the patients in
understanding their dental conditions and needs. Additional photos may also be taken if
there are specific esthetic issues or concerns.
Once treatment needs are determined we will discuss the findings with you.
Occasionally, we will reschedule you for a consult if time is needed for a thoughtful
review of the findings from your exam. The consult is to discuss the exam findings and
treatment recommendations. We will also give recommendations for continuing care.
We will then reserve time in the hygiene program specific to your needs.
