Welcome to Lumino Smiles!
We understand that many patients are apprehensive about visiting the dentist. However, knowing what to expect at your first dental visit can ease your mind. So, we'll go ahead and outline here precisely what you can expect on your first visit to Lumino Smiles.
A Warm Welcome from Your Dentist in Pascoe Vale
Our patients are valued dental community members, and we can't wait to get to know you! Our team will greet you warmly on your first visit and at every appointment thereafter.
If you didn't complete your paperwork online before your dental appointment, we'll ask you to do so now.
A Visit with Our Team
Preventive Dental Care
If you come to our dental clinic for an initial teeth clean and check-up, we'll begin by taking x-rays and photos. Then, our dentists will perform a thorough examination while discussing your smile goals and health history. They will also discuss any treatment needs or future recommendations they have for your smile and dental health.
Patients who aren't managing gum disease will have a teeth clean with our oral health therapist (OHT) after their exam with our dentists. If you are living with gum disease, you may need to return for a deeper, more extensive clean in the future.
You will leave your first visit armed with knowledge about your oral health and empowered to make any necessary treatment decisions about your smile.
Emergency Dentistry
If you're visiting our dental surgery for the first time due to a tooth emergency, our primary goal is to treat the tooth, eliminate any discomfort, and help you get back on the path to wellness.
We'll take an x-ray of that tooth to help diagnose your condition and, if possible, provide same-day treatment. After your dental emergency is under control, we recommend you come in for a preventive exam and teeth cleaning to get your dental health on track.
