During the Appointment
We’ll review your x-rays with you and provide you with digestible information so that you feel in control of your dental health. Dr. Tabaraie facilitates an open discussion so that your visit is a two-way relationship. You’ll always be provided with all of your options and expert advice to help make the best treatment decisions for you.
Your first visit may include a cleaning based on your gum evaluation along with intra-oral pictures, with a no-radiation camera, to get the most accurate view of your current oral health. We’ll discuss various options with you based on your situation.
If there isn’t enough time to answer all of the questions that may arise or if you need additional time to decide, we can schedule a follow-up free of charge.
