First things first

When you first arrive and meet our staff, you'll fill out our new patient forms (if you haven't already printed and filled them out). This helps our team get to know you better. It's always a good idea to arrive 15 minutes early for your first visit.

X-Rays

We then take a series of digital images or x-rays to get a better look at your entire mouth. X-rays allow us to see things we normally couldn't, and help us provide a comprehensive exam.

X-rays are also essential for denture wearers. Our doctor can determine if you have adequate bone to support your dentures, plus check for bone fractures, cysts, tumors, lesions, and sinus issues.

Review of x-rays and examination

After reviewing your x-rays, your   dentist will discuss your dental and medical history and the reason for your   visit. The dentist will then perform a thorough oral exam and suggest a   comprehensive treatment plan that's best for you. This is important, because   seeing the full picture helps you make the best decisions about your care.

Recommended treatment plan

You'll hear the term "comprehensive care" often at Appalachian Dental. It means that we do more than just fix the immediate problem. Our doctors examine your entire mouth, recommend treatment options for long-lasting oral health, and work with you to pick which treatments suit you best.

Tip: Research shows a link between dental health and overall health. ADA

Consultation with office manager

Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive oral care - that means taking care of immediate problems and preventing small issues from getting bigger and more expensive. If left untreated some conditions may have serious consequences for your overall health, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

After the doctor completes your exam, our office manager will meet with you to answer any questions, discuss payment options, and work with you on the best treatment plan for your needs.

We love to answer questions

After your first visit, you'll take our complete evaluation with you, along with the cost of your treatment, and the date for your follow-up appointment.

If you have any questions during your visit, or if there is anything you don't understand, members of the Appalachian Dental team are happy to help.

Your doctor and the rest of the Appalachian Dental team look forward to finding your smile.
