Dental Examination & Treatment Plan

A first-visit dental examination at ArtiSmile that combines a full assessment of the teeth and gums with a written, prioritised treatment plan. The dentist reviews your concerns, examines each tooth and the periodontal tissues, and — given the clinic's periodontology focus — pays particular attention to gum health. You leave with a clear explanation of what is needed and an estimate, which is the recommended starting point for new patients and for anyone planning implants, veneers or crowns.

The examination is the entry point to care at ArtiSmile and is designed to give you a complete, honest picture before any work begins. The dentist takes a history, examines every tooth and existing restoration, and assesses the gums and supporting tissues — a step the practice emphasises because untreated gum disease can undermine fillings, crowns and implants placed on top of it. Where a fuller view is needed, a panoramic X-ray can be taken to show the roots, bone level and any hidden problems. From this assessment the dentist prepares a written treatment plan that sets out what is recommended, in what order, and roughly what it will cost, so you can make decisions at your own pace. For patients travelling from Germany or elsewhere, this is also the moment to plan treatment around a visit and to ask questions in English. A separate follow-up check-up visit is available to review progress or monitor a specific issue. Realistic guidance — including saying when a treatment is not needed — is part of how the clinic works, reflecting its stated philosophy of treating each patient as the dentist would want to be treated.
