During the visit, you’ll receive a thorough oral examination and digital x-rays so we can assess your current condition and explore the right care options for you.

You may also meet with a hygienist who will evaluate the type of cleaning that’s appropriate for your needs. If further treatment is recommended, a team member will assist you in scheduling any follow-up visits and answering your questions.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Dr. Bhargav Patel will review your exam and x-ray results to create a custom treatment plan. This plan may include recommendations for future cleanings, at-home oral care products, or additional visits based on your current oral health.

We’ll walk you through your options and answer any questions you have along the way. Depending on your oral health, a cleaning may be performed at this visit or scheduled for a later date.
