The minute you walk in the door, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff. You will then
be accompanied to the treatment room where Dr. Buehner will complete your
Comprehensive Examination, which will include:

• Review of your medical and dental history.
• Clarify your concerns, wants and expectations and/or problems.
• A series of diagnostic X-rays will be taken to provide a detailed radiographic
  view of your teeth and bone condition.
• Oral Cancer Screening – the insides of your cheek, your gums, the sides, top and
  bottom of your tongue, the roof and back of your mouth will be examined for normal
  and abnormal sores or lesions.

Periodontal Screening for Periodontal Pocketing

• Complete Periodontal Exam – the gums and bone that surround your teeth will be
  evaluated for signs of hidden gum disease.
• Comprehensive dental evaluation is recorded in your tooth chart showing your
  existing and needed dental work.
• Tour your mouth with a “miniature video camera” at high magnification.
• A “Treatment Plan” which is a written explanation of the complete findings
  about your dental health. We encourage you to ask questions because your input into
  your treatment plan is very important.
• “Cleaning” of your teeth may be done depending on the results from this exam.
  Dental cleanings are done by our qualified staff members.
• After your examination Dr. Buehner will review all finds; discuss your
  treatment recommendations and sequence; give you a customized written report and
  answer all questions to your satisfaction and understanding at your first visit.
• Our Financial Coordinator will meet privately with you to cover your treatment
  and financial options and our fees.
