New Patient Comprehensive Examination

At Kingston Beach Dental our New Patient Comprehensive examination is a 1 hour appointment.   We obtain a complete and accurate picture of your oral health needs and will discuss and explain your treatment options with you, in language that you understand.

When you phone the practice to book in your dental visit, our friendly front of house team will send you out a personalised, secure link to our Medical History Form for you to complete prior to your arrival.

If you have records from a previous dental practice including x-rays, we can request them on your behalf. To do so we will send you a personalised, secure link to our Request for Dental Records Form.

Our thorough and comprehensive package includes:

  • Examination including checking and charting all teeth to assess the function of your bite; to diagnose decay and any other dental issues and required treatment.

  • OPG x-ray which provides a detailed image from ear to ear and nose to chin to get baseline information about the present condition of your teeth, jaw and bone.   This allows detection of impacted wisdom teeth, infections, cysts, and early diagnosis of tumours or bone cancer.  It is taken every 5 years.

  • Bitewing x-rays are taken every 2 years to check for periodontal disease and to detect decay between the teeth or underneath fillings which are not visible with the eye.

  • Photographic records to record the condition, shape and shade of all your teeth and the soft tissues to monitor and record the improvements in your oral health and to plan, explain and document your treatment.

  • Oral cancer screening to check for abnormalities.

  • A scale and clean will usually be performed at this visit, after we have assessed the health of your gums.  If you have gum disease or periodontitis you will require a deeper clean over a couple of visits, or you may need us to refer you to a specialist periodontist.  If it has been a long time since your last dental visit we may also perform your clean over several visits for your comfort.
