What to Expect at your First Visit
At Morita Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and dental health. Your first visit with us is an important step towards a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here’s what you can expect during your hour-long appointment:
Comprehensive Exam
Your initial visit begins with a comprehensive exam conducted by our experienced dental professionals. This thorough evaluation is designed to assess your overall oral health and identify any potential issues early on. During the exam, we will:
Review your dental and medical history
Perform a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth
Check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems
Evaluate your bite and jaw alignment
X-Rays
As part of your first visit, we will take a series of x-rays. These images are crucial for diagnosing issues that may not be visible during the physical exam, such as:
Hidden cavities
Impacted teeth
Bone loss
Abscesses or cysts
Our state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology ensures that we get accurate and detailed images while minimizing your exposure to radiation.
Insurance Coverage
We understand that navigating dental insurance can be challenging. Fortunately, the comprehensive exam and x-rays are typically covered by most dental insurance policies. Our friendly staff will help verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment, ensuring there are no surprises.
Personalized Care Plan
Based on the findings from your exam and x-rays, we will develop a personalized care plan tailored to your unique needs. Whether you require routine cleanings, restorative treatments, or cosmetic procedures, our team is here to provide the highest quality care.
