First Visit

Your Initial Visit To Downsview Plaza Dental Office

We appreciate you choosing the Downsview Plaza Dental Office in North York, Ontario, for all of your family’s dental needs.  Drs. Elman & Marder have worked hard to create a relaxing atmosphere where you can rest assured that you will receive an exceptional level of care.  We will require your health and insurance information at your first appointment; this will help us to commence your dental treatment.  You will need to complete a few forms that will assist us to get familiar with your dental and health history and you will be given some information about our office.  Your initial assessment will take place in the course of one hour; we will become acquainted with each other and we will take the time to discuss what your dental goals and ambitions are.  We will examine your whole mouth including teeth, gums, and oral tissues and evaluate your TMJ (temporomandibular joint).   As part of the examination, we also take dental X-rays so that we can see the structure of your jaw, how your teeth are aligned, and overall oral health in order to identify issues such as tooth decay, teeth that have been impacted or damaged and any other issues.  We then provide an overall evaluation, which will summarize what your current dental situation is and provide advise and suggestions on how to treat any issues.

During the first hygiene visit, the hygienist will clean each of your teeth to reduce the level of plaque.  The hygienist will send you home with instructions on how to continue maintaining great oral hygiene.  We must ensure to communicate with each other in order to maintain a good dental care relationship.  Our promise is to be honest with you about any symptoms that are found during the examination process and suggest any treatments that are available.

We will work together as partners with common objective – to keep your smile gorgeous and your teeth, gums and jaw joints healthy and without any problems.
