General Dental Consultation
A dental consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns, understand the condition of your teeth and gums, and explore the treatment options that may meet your needs. Following an examination and any necessary diagnostic imaging, we can develop a personalized plan for improving or maintaining your oral health.
When to Schedule a Dental Consultation
- You have pain, sensitivity, swelling or a damaged tooth.
- You are considering implants, dentures, an extraction or sedation.
- You want a second look at a changing dental concern.
- You are due for an examination or want to establish ongoing care.
A Personalized Assessment, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Visit
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your concerns, goals, medical history, medications and previous dental experiences.
Dr. Sze may examine your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work. Diagnostic images may be recommended when they are needed to better understand an area that cannot be fully assessed visually.
Before treatment proceeds, the team can explain the findings, discuss appropriate options and provide available information about timing, fees and insurance or CDCP considerations.
Recommendations are based on an individual examination and, when appropriate, diagnostic imaging. Contact the office if symptoms are urgent or changing.
