Your first visit to Ghiassi Periodontics is an important step toward lifelong oral health. During your initial consultation in Santa Fe or Los Alamos, New Mexico, our experienced dentist and team will take the time to get to know you and understand your dental needs and goals. We will begin with a comprehensive oral evaluation, which includes a visual inspection of your teeth, gums and soft tissues. This examination allows us to assess the current state of your oral health and detect any early signs of concern.
Digital Imaging & Diagnostic Tools
To provide a thorough assessment, we may also take digital X-rays. These images help us detect hidden issues such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth or other conditions not visible during a visual exam. In some cases, we may perform an oral cancer screening to identify any abnormal tissues or lesions that could be cause for concern. Early detection of oral health issues is critical for effective and conservative treatment.
Periodontal & Bite Evaluation
Our team will also complete a periodontal evaluation, which involves gently probing the gum line to check for signs of gum disease. This allows us to assess the health of the supporting structures around your teeth. We will also examine your bite, or occlusion, to identify any alignment problems or signs of teeth grinding or jaw discomfort. This holistic approach ensures we are considering all aspects of your dental health.
Reviewing Results & Planning Care
Once your exam is complete, our dentist will review the findings with you in detail. We will explain any diagnosed conditions and provide clear, personalized recommendations for treatment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns and discuss your goals for your smile. Our team will help you understand your options so you can make informed decisions about your care.
