This could be your first step to life-long dental health

Take that first step to improving your oral health and getting a healthier, new smile. It can make a difference to your enjoyment of  life and reduce or eliminate any pain you might be experiencing!

After booking an appointment, we will:

• introduce you to one of our consultants to discuss your needs or treatment
  - Everyone has concerns and wants, we want to hear them
  
  
• take digital photographs and radiographs
  - Our photos are used as Medical Images to help us diagnose possible concerns and share with you
    what we see
  - We use Digital Radiographs to image your teeth and jaws with less radiation that one conventional
    radiograph!
  
  
• perform a thorough exam by Dr. Westersund
  - Using the Medical Images we took and the dental radiographs, Dr. Westersund will discuss issues
    and concerns with you so that you are clear about what he finds
  - Your exam will include a traditional oral exam, plus assessment of jaw muscles, jaw joints, oral tissue
    and airway
  
  
• discuss any treatment options
  - Dr. Westersund often says he wears 3 hats during his exam process. One hat is the traditional
    dental exam of teeth and gums. Another hat is the assessment of aesthetic needs for
    your smile and appearance.
    The last hat is one that deals with the function of your jaws, teeth, muscles and even posture.
    This functional hat looks at how  how your teeth and jaws affect your health and well being. 
  - It is your choice to have Dr. Westersund discuss all three areas or just to focus on what concerns you.
  
  
• provide you with an overview of cost
  - Our Treatment Coordinator will discuss Dr. Westersund's findings with you and tailor a course
    of treatment that best suits you.
  - It is your mouth and your health. We are here to answer all questions you may have about possible
    issues and treatment options

We would like to give you the best possible care, but ... then we need to know more about you!

Detailed information about your current health, habits and requirements (or medication) will provide us with clarity which avoids misinterpretation. Rest assured, all your information is safe with us and strictly confidential. You may choose to complete our medical/dental form now - or - at our office.
