At Oscar Gonzalez, DDS, your first visit is an important step in building a relationship centered on your oral health. This appointment allows us to collect your medical history, understand your dental goals, and introduce you to our practice philosophy.
First Appointment
Your first appointment includes a consultation with Dr. Oscar Gonzalez, a trusted dental care provider in West Hartford, CT. During this meeting, Dr. Gonzalez will review your medical and dental history, discuss your expectations, and explain the steps involved in your care.
A comprehensive oral health evaluation follows, including a head and neck assessment, oral cancer screening, temporomandibular joint evaluation, and a detailed review of your teeth, gums, alignment, and bite. If necessary, a complete set of x-rays may be taken, and models of your mouth may be created for further analysis.
If appropriate, this visit may also include a cleaning with one of our licensed dental hygienists. During the cleaning, you’ll receive guidance on the latest techniques for maintaining a healthy smile.
Using all the gathered information, Dr. Gonzalez will design a customized treatment plan addressing your immediate needs and long-term oral health goals. We’ll discuss all available options, including cost estimates, to ensure clarity and confidence in your care plan.
