Your initial examination is a key step towards quality care for your teeth and gums. During your first visit to our dental office, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your teeth, gums, and oral soft tissues. This evaluation forms the foundation for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your health needs, expectations, and preferences.
How do we carry out your first dental check-up?
The initial examination is the first and most important step in creating an individualized plan for your oral health care. Whether you come to us with a specific problem or are just looking for a new dentist, our goal is to thoroughly assess the condition of your oral cavity and propose the best possible solutions. Here is an overview of what to expect during your first visit:
- Reception and Documentation: At your first visit, we’ll carefully create your medical records to ensure personalized and safe care.
- Comprehensive Health Questionnaire: You’ll be asked to complete a detailed form covering your general health, past illnesses, current medications, and any allergies. This information is vital for planning your dental treatment safely and effectively.
- Comprehensive Examination The doctor will carefully examine your teeth, gums, tongue, oral mucosa, and surrounding tissues. We look for signs of tooth decay, cracks, enamel wear, gum inflammation (gingivitis), or periodontitis.
- Assessment of Existing Fillings and Restorations We will evaluate the integrity and condition of your current fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and other prosthetic restorations.
- Use of an Intraoral Camera For a more detailed assessment and better visualization, we use an intraoral camera. This allows you to clearly see any issues identified during the examination.
- Bite and Jaw Joint Evaluation We will assess your bite and jaw joint function to detect potential issues such as bruxism (teeth grinding), joint overload, or malocclusion — helping to prevent complications early.
Taking X-rays (as needed) For a complete diagnosis, digital X-ray imaging is almost always necessary. These scans help us detect cavities hidden between teeth, inflammation beneath old fillings, bone loss around teeth, cysts, and other anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye.
The most common types include:
- Bitewing X-rays — Provide a detailed view of the spaces between teeth and help assess bone levels.
- Panoramic X-ray (OPG) — Offers a broad overview of your teeth, jawbones, and paranasal sinuses.
- CBCT scan (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) — Used for complex cases requiring precise 3D imaging, such as implant planning or complicated extractions.
- Assessment of Hygiene Habits We will evaluate your current oral hygiene level, including the presence of dental plaque and calculus. Based on this, we’ll provide personalized recommendations on how to brush your teeth correctly, use interdental brushes, and floss effectively — helping you prevent future dental issues.
- Recommendation for Professional Dental Hygiene If needed, we’ll suggest a professional dental cleaning as a key step toward successful treatment and long-term prevention.
- Detailed Explanation and Consultation The doctor will clearly explain all findings, answer your questions, and discuss available treatment options with you.
- Personalized Treatment Plan Together, we’ll create an optimal treatment plan tailored to your health condition, schedule, and budget.
- Cost Estimate You’ll receive a preliminary cost estimate for the recommended procedures, ensuring transparency and clarity.
- Planning Further Care We’ll help you schedule any necessary follow-up treatments at a time that suits you best.

Indications and Contraindications for Initial Examination
Your smile reflects your overall health and well-being. In dentistry, knowing when to seek professional care — and when to proceed with caution — is essential. Below is an overview of common indications for dental treatment, as well as contraindications that may require postponing or modifying procedures.
Indications (When is treatment recommended?)
1. Tooth Pain and Sensitivity
Discomfort while eating, sensitivity to hot or cold beverages, or spontaneous pain may indicate tooth decay, pulp inflammation, or exposed root surfaces.
2. Cavities and Tooth Damage
Visible cavities, cracked, broken, or significantly worn teeth that require fillings, crowns, or other restorations.
3. Missing Teeth
Gaps in your teeth following extractions that need to be replaced for both aesthetic and functional reasons (implants, bridges, removable dentures).
4. Bleeding Gums and Inflammation
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth – signs of gingivitis or periodontitis.
5. Aesthetic Imperfections
Dissatisfaction with the color, shape, size, or alignment of your teeth; diastemas (gaps) you wish to improve (teeth whitening, veneers, orthodontics/braces).
6. Prevention and Regular Check-ups
Regular check-ups and professional dental hygiene to maintain long-term oral health and early detection of problems.
7. Issues with Dental Function
Problems with biting, chewing, speech articulation; teeth grinding (bruxism), or temporomandibular joint pain that affects quality of life.
Contraindications (When is caution needed?)
1. Acute infections and inflammations
Acute untreated infection in the oral cavity (e.g., extensive abscess) or systemic infection (e.g., influenza with fever).
2. Uncontrolled systemic diseases
Severe uncontrolled diabetes, unstable heart conditions (e.g., recent myocardial infarction/heart attack, untreated hypertension), or serious bleeding disorders.
3. Pregnancy (relative contraindication)
Certain procedures (particularly X-rays and invasive surgeries) are recommended to be postponed until the second trimester or after delivery, unless an emergency situation exists.
4. Allergy
Known allergies to local anesthetics, medications, or materials (metals, resins) used in dental treatment.
5. Taking certain medications
Anticoagulants (blood thinners), immunosuppressants, bisphosphonates, and corticosteroids – require consultation and potential adjustments to treatment.
6. Patient’s mental health status
Severe anxiety, dental phobia, or inability to cooperate with treatment (e.g., young children without sedation) hindering safe and effective care.
7. Improper oral hygiene
Extremely poor oral hygiene that could compromise the success of more complex procedures (e.g., implants) – improvement of oral hygiene is required first.
