Ask a Dentist

Q: How should I prepare for my appointment if I haven't been to the dentist in a while?

A dentist shows a dental patient their oral scans at a Dental Image Therapy Centre location.

Relax. The most important thing for you to do is relax. At Dental Image Therapy Centres your comfort is our priority. That means that we’ll walk you through each step of your appointment so you know what we’re doing and why.

Your first appointment is also what we like to call a ‘getting to know you’ assessment, where we’ll get to know your teeth and mouth and discuss how we can help you work towards a better smile.This includes:

• Digital x-rays as needed for diagnosis

• VELscope cancer screening

• Dental charting

• Intra-oral video tour of your mouth

Your dentist will also do a:

• Soft tissue examination

• Periodontal assessment

• TMJ evaluation

• Occlusal (bite) evaluation

• Check for dental decay

Based on what we find, we’ll offer recommendations for how often you should come to visit and what you can work on at home during your daily oral health routine.

We’re looking forward to getting to know you! Give us a call or book your next appointment online to visit our St. Vital or Garden City dental clinics today.
