What happens during a dental consultation?

Dental consultations are tailored to your specific needs and current oral health, but typically include the following components:

Paperwork to provide us with important information for your care, such as your demographic information, medical and dental history, and dental insurance details.
X-rays as needed to visualize the components of your teeth and jawbone that are invisible to the naked eye.
Examination by the dentist to evaluate your overall oral health, particularly any areas of concern.
Conversation between you and the dentist to discuss a variety of topics, including any symptoms you are having, your goals for your smile, your treatment preferences and budget, and other topics pertinent to your specific situation.

Based on the information gathered during these parts of the consultation, Dr. Rina Kotecha will then discuss your treatment options with you and provide you with educational information about any specific issues you may be having. In a non-judgmental, compassionate conversation, Dr. Rina Kotecha will answer any questions you have and discuss the pros and cons of various options based on your specific needs.
