The New Patient Experience at
Sedona Dental Arts

Sedona dentist and new patient consultation room
Consultation room: We can discuss treatment options and financial arrangements in private.

We love getting to know new patients!
We spend 1 ½ to 2 hours during the comprehensive exam getting to know you and your dental status. You can expect that we will:

  • inspect and chart any existing dentistry and any defects
  • take intraoral photos to show you areas of concern and to document these areas for future comparison
  • check and chart the pocket depths and bleeding points at 6 spots around every tooth; chart the attachment level and the mobility
  • perform an intraoral and extraoral cancer exam, an important step since oral cancer incidence is on the rise
  • take diagnostic photos of the teeth and face to assist in treatment planning
  • unless provided with x-rays less than 3 years old, we will be taking a full mouth series of 18 x-rays, an important diagnostic tool

Your Doctor will then put together a personalized treatment plan based on findings, recommendations and discussions. Afterward, you will be scheduled with our hygienist for personalized care of your teeth and gums. Our receptionists are experts at discussing financial options.
