Can I ask about a full assessment if I am not an existing patient?+
Use the form or phone to explain your situation and ask how to get started. You do not need to know already what treatment you may need.
What if I have no idea what my previous dentist did?+
Much can be seen from an examination and current records, including existing restorations. Anything else you can remember, even vaguely, may still help fill in the picture.
I only go to the dentist when something hurts. Does that rule this out?+
No. Many complex situations build up that way. Your assessment looks at where things stand now, so past gaps in care do not need to hold you back.
Will a new dentist want to replace all my old work?+
Not automatically. Existing restorations are evaluated along with everything else, and you can ask why any particular replacement is suggested and what would happen if you left it.
Do I need dental insurance to ask about this?+
No, you can ask either way. If you do have a plan, coverage is assessed service by service, and a predetermination may give an estimate without assuring payment.
