Dental Consultations and Diagnostics Services Serving Santa Monica, Los Angeles, CA

If you are a new patient at Le Chic Dentist, the first thing you will want to do is schedule an initial consultation with our dental practice. Upon your first initial visit, there will be paperwork to fill out. We will need your basic information like your first and last name to create a patient profile for you. We will also need your health history and any insurance plans you’d like included if you have dental insurance. 
 
During this consultation, an evaluation of your current oral health condition will be noted. A dental hygienist will perform the basic exam while making notes for the dentist. We look for any abnormalities or issues with your teeth, gums, and mouth like cavities, enamel erosion, and receding gums.
 
This consultation is important as it establishes a baseline of the current state of your dental health and helps to make decisions based on this for further treatment.
 
X-rays may also be completed, as these are a great tool to gain further information about your current oral health. The images we retain will provide further insight that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Our dentists will have a conversation about your dental affairs with you, and recommend dental treatment options depending on the information we gather at this consultation. We will formulate a plan moving forward about your oral health and how to maintain great results.
