What to Expect at Your First Visit

A Conversation About Your Needs

Your appointment begins with a discussion of your current concerns, symptoms, dental history, medical conditions, medications, and treatment goals.

Please let us know about:

Dental pain, swelling, or infection
Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
Loose, broken, or missing teeth
Problems involving an existing dental implant
Previous implant or surgical recommendations
Dental anxiety or concerns about treatment
Any treatment plan or estimate you have already received

You are welcome to bring previous X-rays, imaging, treatment plans, or cost estimates for review.

A Comprehensive Evaluation

Your provider will examine the area of concern and evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, jaw, and supporting bone.

Depending on your individual needs, your visit may include:

Digital X-rays
Periodontal measurements
Evaluation of gum and bone health
Review of an existing implant or treatment area
Advanced 3D CBCT imaging when clinically appropriate
Clinical photographs or digital records
Assessment of your restorative and surgical needs

Central Avenue Dental uses modern technology, including computed tomography imaging and dental lasers, to assist with diagnosis and treatment planning.

The purpose of the evaluation is to help determine which treatment options may be appropriate for you—not to rush you into making a decision.

Clear Treatment Recommendations

Following the evaluation, your provider will explain:

What was found during the examination
Which treatment options may be appropriate
Whether treatment is urgent
Whether surgical, periodontal, implant, or restorative care may be needed
Whether bone grafting or soft-tissue treatment may be recommended
The anticipated sequence and number of appointments
Recovery and aftercare considerations
Alternatives to the recommended treatment

You will have an opportunity to ask questions and understand your options before deciding how to proceed.

Benefits and Financial Review

Our team can review your dental benefits and help you understand:

Estimated insurance coverage
Anticipated out-of-pocket costs
Deductibles, annual maximums, and plan limitations
Available payment and financing options
Whether preauthorization or additional documentation may be required

Insurance estimates are not guarantees of payment, but our team will explain the available information as clearly as possible.

Same-Day Treatment May Be Possible

In select cases, treatment may be able to begin during the same visit. Same-day treatment depends on:

Your diagnosis
The type and complexity of the procedure
Your medical history
Required imaging and records
Provider availability
Insurance and financial arrangements
Whether sedation or medical clearance is required

Patients interested in same-day treatment should mention it when scheduling so our team can plan appropriately.

Gum recession

Considering Dental Implants?

Dental implant treatment often involves both surgical and restorative planning.

At Central Avenue Dental, the provider placing the implant can coordinate with the restorative dentist who will design and place the final tooth or teeth. This collaborative approach allows the team to consider the complete result from the beginning.

Your treatment plan may address:

Bone and gum health
Implant position
Bite and function
Appearance
Temporary tooth options
Final restoration design
Long-term maintenance

Depending on your individual needs, implant treatment may involve:

Implant evaluation
3D CBCT imaging
Tooth extraction
Bone grafting
Implant placement
Healing and follow-up care
Placement of the final crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration

Central Avenue Dental offers implant placement and uses advanced imaging technology to support precision and treatment planning.

Already Have an Implant Plan or Estimate?

Bring your existing treatment plan, estimate, and imaging with you.

Our team can review your current recommendations, answer your questions, and provide a second opinion before you commit to treatment.
