Visiting a new dentist for the first time can be a stressful experience. Not everyone finds change easy and having to visit a new dentist can be quite challenging. But it doesn’t have to be.
At Smilecraft, we welcome all new patients to our practice and we hope that you will have a friendly and relaxed dental experience. Our dentist in Stevenage is here to answer your questions and give you more information on our practice and our treatments. Every age has its own challenges and requires a different approach, but we are here to accommodate children, teens and adults alike.
Planning your visit
For us, it is really important to have enough time to understand and process your individual requirements. For this reason, appointments for new patients are an hour long. If you are interested in booking an appointment with one of our dentists, either visit our website or give us a call. We will get back to you promptly with a date and time. If we are unable to accommodate your availability, we will suggest alternative openings in our schedule.
The dental examination
Once you arrive at our practice, our dentist in Stevenage will make you feel at home. Before examining your mouth and teeth thoroughly, we will ask questions about your medical history to identify oral or other health issues that we should be aware of. This is an important step for your healthcare and all prospective patients should complete a medical history form prior to their first consultation.
After that, our dentist in Stevenage will examine your teeth and gums thoroughly. This examination also includes an inspection of your throat and soft tissues as well an oral screening test.
We may also take x-rays to monitor your jawbone health. Once the examination is completed, we will discuss our findings with you and suggest possible treatments. We will also offer advice on proper brushing and flossing techniques, so you can do your part to keep your teeth healthy in between check-ups.
Even if your teeth and gums are in great health, we recommend visiting the dentist in Stevenage for dental check-ups and cleanings at least twice a year.
