Helping you keep your Smile 4 Life

Examination & Treatment Planning

Planning Your Treatment

At Smiles4milesdental we treat you as a person not just a tooth. The foundation of a successful dental treatment is the comprehensive examination, diagnosis and treatment planning.

During your first appointment we will check your medical history, do a thorough oral examination to make a diagnosis and organise a treatment plan.

our examination starts with the head,neck and facial structures before moving inside the mouth to check soft tissues, gums and teeth.

This will take between 45 to 60 minutes. For clients with complex problems, this may take more than one visit.

Our focus is to provide you with the most suitable dental treatment.

We will give you all treatment options that will work for you and allow you time to make a decision.

In some cases we may refer you to other specialists for second opinion.

We employ the latest technology to assist us with diagnosis:

  • LED illumination
  • Latest digital X-ray sensors
  • Latest digital intraoral cameras

Advantages of having digital X-rays:

  • Digital sensor can be easily tolerated in the mouth compared to conventional films.
  • The radiation dose to the orofacial structures is reduced.
  • The image is seen instantly on the computer and stored for long time.

This digital IO camera is the greatest tool we have. It is our second brain: Eight LED lights can capture fine details and help us to see better. We can record the initial presentation of your teeth to document your case. We will show you before and after images for you to appreciate our work.

We can E- mail you a copy of all your digital X-rays and images to take with you to other dentists.

We promise you that we will listen

Once we have completed the examination and reviewed all the records, we will present you with a treatment plan tailored for you. we get you involved in the decision making to feel at ease during treatment. We will address your immediate concern first and progress to less urgent treatment.
