What to Expect at Your First Appointment
A Warm Welcome
From the moment you contact us, you’ll experience our friendly, professional approach. Our reception team will explain what to bring to your first appointment and answer any initial questions you have.
When you arrive at our Shrewsbury practice, we’ll make you feel at ease in our calm, relaxing environment. There’s no rush – we schedule plenty of time for new patient examinations so you never feel hurried.
Getting to Know You
We’ll begin by discussing your dental history, any current concerns, and what you’d like to achieve with your oral health. We’ll also ask about your general health and any medications you’re taking, as these can sometimes affect your dental care.
All new patients benefit from having a thorough initial oral examination, including digital X-rays.
Comprehensive Oral Examination
We’ll check for:
- Tooth decay or cavities
- Gum disease or inflammation
- Worn, damaged or cracked teeth
- Signs of teeth grinding or jaw problems
- Oral cancer screening
- Bite alignment and jaw function
- Any existing dental work (fillings, crowns, etc.)
Personalised Treatment Plan
After your examination, we’ll discuss our findings with you in clear, straightforward language. If any treatment is needed, we’ll explain:
- What we’ve found and why it needs addressing
- Your treatment options
- What each treatment involves
- Costs and timeframes
- Which treatments are priorities and which can wait
You’ll never feel pressured into treatment. We’ll give you all the information you need to make informed decisions about your dental care.
Preventive Advice
Even if no treatment is needed, we’ll provide personalised advice on maintaining your oral health, including brushing and flossing techniques, suitable products for your needs, and lifestyle factors that affect your teeth and gums.
