LOVE THAT WE CAN HELP YOU!
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT
Your first visit is like a first date :)
The best first dates are the ones where there is a connection, where you feel understood, and you feel at ease!
Whether you have been visiting the dentist regularly or its been something where Fear or Procrastination was taking charge until now, we want you to know you’re in good hands and that your needs matter. Any concerns you have are never too big or too small.
WHEN WE KNOW BETTER, WE CAN DO BETTER
At Smile Me Dental, we have start-of-the-art technology and all the equipment we need in-house and onsite to complete a comprehensive examination of your Oral Health. You don’t have to go anywhere else!
On your first visit, we really want to get to know you.
We want to know what your experience of the dentist has been like (so we can do better); we are interested in your medical and dental history (we can best empower you to make choices for your Oral Health that contributes to your overall wellbeing); and we have every intention to set the tone for this first meeting to have a beautiful ripple effect on what’s to come.
The first visit includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums, screening or your oral health (this may consist of a combination of photos/ x-rays all done onsite), and then the visit will be concluded with a Professional Clean and Fluoride Polish.
We will also make suggestions on treatment options and create a customised plan with you to maintain excellent Oral Health.
You can count on us to always keep you well informed so that you can feel empowered to make educated choices regarding your Dental treatments.
FEEL AT EASE. FEEL SAFE. FEEL EMPOWERED.
Everyone’s experience of the dentist is different - and we have varying degrees of anxiousness, fears, or concerns when it comes to visiting the dentist.
Your experience of feeling at ease, safe, empowered and guided is our main priority.
We intend to make your visit as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Relaxed Environment: Each of our treatment rooms has a mounted TV and essential oils and eyes masks. Watching TV and directing your focus on watching TV combined with the scent of essential oils can really help create a relaxed visit to the dentist.
Mindfulness and Breathing: Dr Claudia is an advocate of using mindfulness and breathing techniques to help create a relaxed internal environment. She will coach and empower you to use your breathing and mental focus to be your ally during your treatment.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation: This is a safe and pain-free solution that caters for patients who experience high-levels of anxiousness, phobia, or for patients who may need extensive treatments in a single visit. IV Sedation creates a deep state of relaxation. Dr Melissa Licenblat is our resident certified Seditionist at Smile Me Dental.
Noise-Cancelling Headphones: The noises of a dentist office can be off-putting. Upon request and to relieve this issue, you’ll receive a pair of noise-canceling headphones before you begin treatment. You can watch your favourite show, movie on our TV’s or listen to music without hearing a thing.
READY FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT?
We look forward to our very first date with you.
