How General & Family Dentistry Works
Your first visit starts with a conversation about your goals and health history. Dr. Rebecca Hausten or Dr. Rachael Cole completes a thorough exam, including periodontal measurements, oral cancer screening, TMJ and bite assessment, and cavity detection. Digital imaging may be used to evaluate areas not visible to the eye. A gentle cleaning removes plaque and tartar for a fresh, polished feel.
After reviewing findings, you will receive a tailored plan that outlines any needed care in clear steps. TMJ-focused recommendations—such as bite adjustments or a custom night guard—can also be incorporated to reduce strain on your jaw and protect your teeth.
