During First Visit at our Penrith Dental clinic, we carry out the following:

Take Records

Intra oral photos: to show you close up view of your teeth.  Therefore you can see clearly the condition of your dental health.

Digital X-rays. Our Dentist will take necessary X-rays to assess the health of your teeth and surrounding bone. We want to provide a healthy foundation, and take NO CHANCES of missing any underlying problems. Therefore our dentist will take a special scanning X-ray (OPG) and also close up small X-rays of individual teeth. We use digital X-rays to enhance our diagnostic interpretation. This also minimises the radiation dose for X-rays.

Study Models, replica moulds of your teeth may help to assess the bite.

Examination

Full Mouth Teeth and Periodontal (gum) charting. Firstly this will check the teeth.  Secondly will check the supporting structures of your teeth including gums and bones.  We are therefore checking for various forms of gum and bone disease, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. By treating ant pathology early and properly, will ensure you maintain healthy gums and keep your teeth!

Temporo Mandibular Joints assessment. This is important as the lower jaw is connected with these important joints.  The long term success of your treatment depends on the health and stability of your temporo mandibular joints.
