We love our new patients! A warm and inviting welcome, courtesy of the all-important initial visit
At Advanced Dental, we support the oral health needs of the entire family from our well-appointed office in Aliso Viejo, California. While daily brushing and flossing at home are essential to oral health, they are not a substitute for our professional expertise. This professional expertise is embodied by our comprehensive exams. These exams should be scheduled at least once every six months, and this journey to sustained oral health and wellness starts with the all-important new patient exam.
What to expect
During your first visit, you will get to know our team led by Dr. Chitra Tiruveedula. Dr. Tiruveedula supports the health of patients of all ages, from 2-year-old grandchildren to 98-year-old grandparents. She provides a complete and sound examination of the state and condition of your teeth, gums, and the soft and hard tissues and structures of the mouth and jaw. A series of digital x-rays complement this exam to aid in detecting oral problems (like tooth decay and oral cancers) at their earliest stages when they are easiest to treat.
You will also meet one of our experienced hygienists, who will perform a thorough and gentle cleaning. During this cleaning, they effectively remove stubborn tartar and stains that may have built up since your last cleaning. Patients with more severe inflammation may benefit from the expertise of our board-certified periodontist or gum disease specialist, Dr. Joseph C. Yang. After all, the health of your teeth depends on the health of the gums that surround, protect, and otherwise “frame” them!
Tailored care
This initial visit and succeeding regular 6-month “checkups” are also great opportunities to ask specific questions about things like your home care routine. We can advise on good brushing and flossing techniques to help you better clean your teeth and other parts of the mouth that harbor harmful bacteria. Additionally, we may recommend “dentist-approved” toothpaste, brushes, floss, interdental brushes, and floss threaders to effectively clean areas such as hard-to-reach spaces under dental bridges. We are happy to explore our full range of cosmetic, preventative, and restorative dentistry solutions with you as needed.
