First Visit Expectations
If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at the dentist. Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Kelner Periodontics.
Let’s get to know each other
Dr. Danielle Kelner
has been helping patients achieve a beautiful smile for over 15 years.
During your initial visit, our priority is to establish a comprehensive evaluation of your dental health, so that Dr. Kelner can tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs. We're eager to address your questions and concerns as you get acquainted with our team. Please don’t hesitate to inform us about your personal needs, so we can better serve you.
Part of getting to know you and providing prudent, personalized support involves reviewing your medical history. Certain medical conditions and medications can influence your treatment protocols – so you will be asked to provide a list of your medications and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements).
A full-mouth series of x-rays (if not available from your general dentist) and a comprehensive oral exam of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw will be performed by Dr. Kelner and our registered dental hygienists. During this exam, Dr. Kelner will screen for non-invasive oral cancer, measure bone loss, check for loose teeth, evaluate your bite, and assess any signs of periodontal disease.
You’re in Experienced hands
If you haven’t been to a dentist for a while, please don’t worry - that’s quite common. You’ve made an important decision to improve your oral health, starting with a periodontal consultation.
Once your entire exam is complete, Dr. Kelner will discuss her findings in detail and answer all your questions. We can prioritize and stagger your treatments for your comfort, restoring your oral health and giving you the smile you deserve in a time frame that works for you.
Finally, we want you to know we will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed and safe. Not only is your physical comfort important to us, but your emotional comfort is as well. So, come in, recline, and unwind – you’re in great hands.
