First Visit

Prior to your first appointment you will be provided forms to complete in the privacy of your home.

Most new patients require a comprehensive exam; ninety minutes are scheduled for this initial appointment.  

The exam will usually consist of:

  • Review of your Medical and Dental History
  • Digital Photo Record
  • Necessary Radiographs (x-rays)
  • Study Casts (Mold of your teeth in plaster)
  • Oral Cancer Exam
  • Evaluation of Existing Tooth and Gum Conditions
  • Muscle and Joint Exam
  • Occlusal Exam (How your teeth meet and rub around)

A review of the above information will be the substance of the second, thirty-minute appointment which is included in the overall fee.  At that time, both you and Dr. Smith can decide upon a course of treatment that will return you to optimum health. You can conveniently schedule your appointment at (860) 489-7974 during office hours <<< view, or use this online appointment scheduling form and the dental office will call you back with a confirmation within 24 hours.
