Dental Examination & Treatment Plan

An initial examination with one of the clinic's dentists to assess the teeth, gums and bite, identify any decay or problems, and set out a plan for treatment. It is the recommended first step for new patients and for anyone arriving from abroad who wants a clear picture of what is needed before committing to work. A diagnostic X-ray can be taken at the same visit, and the plan can be staged so treatment fits around a trip.

A dental examination at Family Dent is a dedicated appointment to understand the current state of your mouth before any treatment begins. The dentist checks each tooth for decay, cracks or failing fillings, examines the gums and soft tissues, and reviews how the teeth meet when you bite. Where useful, a small intraoral X-ray is taken to see between and beneath the teeth. The findings are then explained in plain terms, with the recommended treatments, the likely sequence and the cost outlined so you can decide how to proceed. For patients travelling from Germany or elsewhere, this consultation is a practical way to scope a course of work in advance and to stage it sensibly across one or more visits — for example, completing hygiene and any fillings on a first trip and reserving crowns or implants for a follow-up once healing allows. The clinic offers a calm, unhurried setting and can arrange inhalation sedation or computer-controlled anaesthesia for nervous patients at later appointments. A prosthetic, surgical or periodontal consultation with a formal written plan is available for more complex cases. Honest guidance is part of the visit, including advising when a tooth can be watched rather than treated. Suitability for specific treatments and any medical considerations are reviewed before work starts.
