We know visiting a new dentist can sometimes feel a little daunting—but at Waratah Dental, we’re here to make your first visit comfortable, welcoming, and stress-free.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile and caring approach. We take the time to get to know you, understand your dental history, and listen to any concerns you may have.
What to Expect:
- Warm welcome and paperwork – We’ll ask you to fill out a short medical and dental history form.
- Comprehensive dental exam – Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues. This may include X-rays to check areas we can’t see visually.
- Professional clean (if needed) – We may perform a gentle clean to remove plaque, tartar, and stains.
- Oral health advice – We’ll provide personalised recommendations on brushing, flossing, and any preventative care.
- Treatment plan (if required) Depending on your situation, the dentist may develop your comprehensive treatment plan. This plan, including alternatives, advantages/disadvantages and costs that will then be presented to you. We will explain the written treatment plan to you containing both the treatment steps and the fee estimates for each of those steps, in order to provide you with a very clear and transparent explanation about the recommended treatment.
We aim to make your first appointment a positive foundation for ongoing care. Whether you’re here for a check-up, treatment, or just some advice, we’re here to support you—and your smile—every step of the way.
