During your comprehensive oral health examination, also called a “full mouth exam,” doctor ralston will examine your teeth and gums, while screening you for oral cancer, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and anything else that can have an impact on your oral health.
After your exam, you’ll discuss your oral health goals with doctor ralston, to develop a personalized treatment plan that is customized to fit your unique dental needs. Treatment plans are a detailed outline of recommended care, and typically include a timeline for each treatment, as well as information about any service you will receive.
Everyone’s smile is as unique as they are, and as a result, no two treatment plans will be exactly the same. We’ll be with you every step of the way, making sure to educate you on all of your available treatment options, and answering any questions you may have, so you can choose the treatment that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
In order to keep you feeling safe and comfortable, we’re proud to offer sedation options. Sedation is not only helpful for complex restorative cases, but also to ease dental anxiety and provide comfort to patients who have trouble sitting still. We’ll discuss whether or not you will need or want sedation while we create your treatment plan.
If you’re visiting our office for a dental emergency, we’ll do everything we can to ensure you get the treatment you need as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of your emergency, and our availability, we may be able to offer same-day appointments. For non-emergencies, we’ll just schedule your next appointment after your cleaning and exam. We’ll work with you to make sure your next visit fits in with your schedule.
