It is recommended that everyone should visit a dentist twice a year for regular cleanings and dental check-ups. In order to take the first step towards maintaining healthy teeth and gums, you can schedule a new patient dental examination at Dentistry at Golden Ridge in Golden, Colorado. Our experienced dentists, Dr. Jamie Richard, Dr. Christina VerSchave, and our team will ensure you feel comfortable and welcome. If you are searching for a new dental care provider, we would be happy to assist you.
A new patient’s dental examination at our office will take about two hours. The first hour of your appointment will be spent with our dental assistants and one of our dentists, followed by an hour with our dental hygienist for your oral hygiene visit. If you don’t have gum disease, we will clean your teeth the same day.
Here is what you can expect at your first exam:
Additionally, Drs. Richard and VerSchave will review your dental goals with you.
In some cases, oral health issues lurk beneath the surface of your teeth and gums without producing any symptoms. For example, you may not know you have a cavity without a comprehensive dental exam, and cavities can go undetected for months without symptoms. Equally important, gum disease will often present with no symptoms.
Brushing and flossing at home is essential to a healthy oral care routine. However, tartar can’t be removed with brushing, so a dental cleaning is required to take care of it. Fillings must also be checked periodically because they can loosen over time without a patient knowing it.
When you’re ready to take your oral care to the next level, the team at Dentistry at Golden Ridge is here to serve you. Call us today at (303) 951-8515 to schedule your new patient’s dental exam.
