We are Accepting New patients! Enjoy a Fresh Start to Your Smile at Dental Associates of Hoboken

We are thrilled you have chosen us as your preferred dental office. Most people feel nervous about their first dental visits, but our office tries everything possible to make you comfortable. 

Sometimes, we become anxious because we don’t know what to expect. That’s why we’ve put together this post to guide new and first-time patients through the process.

• Medical history: We’ll get to know you as a person and review your medical and dental history. So, don’t be surprised when we ask about your past medical records, allergies, current medications, etc. If you have dental anxiety, let us know. Be honest and leave nothing out to ensure we provide you with the best care.
• New patient exam: Our dental exams are thorough, taking about 60-90 minutes. The dentist screens your gums, teeth, and other oral structures for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, orthodontics issues, etc. Dental exams allow us to detect and treat dental problems before symptoms manifest. 
• Digital X-rays: Our visual exams are detailed, but not everything is visible to the naked eye. Dental X-rays help us visualize the internal structures of your teeth and jaws, allowing us to unearth bone loss, impacted teeth, infections, cysts, tumors, and other hidden issues. Our office uses the latest X-rays including AI software, ensuring we get high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure. 

• Dental Health Scan: Utilizing the most modern, proven technology, this cutting-edge, non-invasive digital imaging procedure provides a highly detailed 3D view of your teeth and gums. This technology allows us to assess your oral health with unmatched clarity, ensuring more effective treatment planning for crowns, bridges, Invisalign, and overall dental care.

• Treatment plan: We’ll discuss the findings of your dental exams to restore your oral health. Whether you have tooth decay, damage, gum disease, etc., we’ll devise a treatment plan to restore your healthy smile. Minor problems can become bigger problems later, so we don’t ignore any problem, even if it is minor. We’ll most likely recommend a dental cleaning to remove surface stains and plaque from areas your toothbrush can’t reach.
