First Visit

Oral Exam

Following the detailed medical and dental history review during the initial consultation a thorough oral examination will be carried out specific to the problem site. This examination also includes looking for signs of periodontal disease and any gingival condition, tooth fractures, cavities, problems with previous dental work and occlusal discrepancies.

Dental x-rays and CBCT scans are required for an accurate diagnosis. If the patient does not provide these in advance we will need to take the x-rays at the time of the consultation or have the CBCT scan done in an imaging center.

Diagnostic and Treatment

Once the patient’s medical history and the initial examination is completed, the periodontist will analyze the information gathered and provide a personalized diagnosis for the patient with a customized treatment plan. Once the diagnosis is formulated, the prognosis and treatment plan can be considered.

Estimated Costs of Proposed Treatment

The estimated cost can usually be determined during the first consultation. Only in certain and very specific cases, a further and broader examination may be necessary to determine the complete treatment plan that will be followed and its cost.

Further Indications

• Children must be accompanied to the consultation by an adult.
• We recommend bringing a list of all prescribed medications the patient is currently taking.
• Please send DICOM files of CBCT scan or x-rays to periodoncista.mx@gmail.com before your appointment.
