Office Visits
Your First Visit
Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination of your teeth, bone levels, gums and the tissues and the structures around your mouth. Digital X-rays will be taken to help the doctors diagnose your dental condition.
The initial visit also involves getting your medical history. When you share your medical history, be sure to provide complete, up-to-date information on your health. Inform Drs. Lee and Konen if you have experienced recent hospitalization or surgery, or if you have recently been ill. Also tell us the names, doses, and frequency of any medications you are taking — whether prescription or over-the-counter products — and the name of your physician. Inform Drs. Lee and Konen of any changes in your health or medications. This information will help Drs. Lee and Konen select the safest and most effective method of treatment for you.
Regular Checkups
We encourage regular checkups for individuals age one and up. Most people find that it is valuable to have a checkup at least every six months so Drs. Lee and Konen can:
- Check for problems that you might not see or feel
- Find early signs of decay
- Treat oral health problems early, while they are still manageable
Regular checkups include a thorough cleaning, polishing, and an oral exam by the doctor. During the oral exam, Drs. Lee and Konen check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. At each visit, Drs. Lee and Konen also check old fillings and restorations because constant pressure from chewing, grinding, or clenching can cause them to wear away, chip, or crack.
Regular checkup appointments typically take about an hour. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately.
