Your First Visit

At South Bay Dentistry in Apollo Beach, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional dental care with a personalized touch. Whether you’re new to the area or simply seeking a new dentist, we are committed to making your first visit as comfortable and informative as possible.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Comprehensive Consultation

During your initial appointment at South Bay Dentistry, we generally perform a cleaning, conduct an examination, and discuss your treatment possibilities. We are ready to start immediately if you agree to proceed with a suggested treatment. Yet, suppose you have a complicated medical history or require a detailed treatment strategy. In that case, it might be necessary to undertake additional evaluation and possibly schedule another visit. Rest assured, we will arrange this to suit your convenience.

Detailed Examination

Your initial visit will include thoroughly examining your teeth, gums, and mouth. We have the latest dental technology, including digital radiographs and 3D imaging, to get a complete picture of your oral health. This detailed examination helps us identify any underlying issues that may need attention, from cavities and gum disease to TMJ disorders and airway issues.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your examination results, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your immediate dental needs and long-term oral health goals. We will guide you through each step of the process, explaining your options and answering any questions.

Preparing for Your Visit

To ensure your appointment proceeds without a hitch, we kindly request you arrive equipped with the following items:

– Any relevant X-rays from past dental treatments

– A comprehensive list of current medications you are on

– Details of your dental insurance plan

– Completed patient forms in advance

By bringing these items to your initial visit, we aim to expedite the process and enhance your overall experience.
