Book Your First VisitWhat to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment begins with a comprehensive oral health exam with Dr. Godfrey. This visit gives us a complete picture of your oral health so we can recommend care that fits you. The exam is thorough and includes several important steps.
- A full set of digital radiographs (X-rays)
- Intraoral digital images that let you see what we see
- An evaluation of your teeth and gum health
- An assessment of your TMJ and bite relationship
- An oral cancer screening
- An assessment of possible airway concerns
We take an integrated oral and systemic approach to care. This helps patients understand that a healthy mouth is an important part of an overall wellness plan for life.
