Walking into a dental practice for the first time can feel uncertain, particularly if it has been a while since your last visit or if you have concerns you are not quite sure how to put into words. Jane and the team at DENTL in East Melbourne have designed the first consultation experience to be structured, unhurried, and focused entirely on understanding what each patient needs before any treatment is recommended.
How Your First Consultation Unfolds
Settling In
When you arrive at DENTL, you are welcomed into the waiting lounge. Once the team is ready, you move through to the examination room. There is no rushing. The experience is designed to feel calm and organised from the moment you walk in.
A Conversation About Your Concerns
Before any clinical work begins, Jane sits down with you to find out what your concerns are and what you are hoping to address. This conversation is the starting point for everything that follows. Understanding your perspective is just as important as the clinical findings at DENTL.
A Thorough Dental Examination
Once you are comfortable, Jane carries out a comprehensive dental examination, assessing each tooth individually to ensure nothing is overlooked and that any recommended treatment is accurate and appropriate for your situation.
Photography and Imaging On-Site
Following the examination, any necessary clinical photographs are taken. Two-dimensional X-ray imaging is available on-site. For patients who are interested in exploring dental implant planning, DENTL also has a 3D CT scanner in-house, meaning detailed implant assessment can be completed without requiring an external referral.
Reviewing Your Images Together
Once your scan is complete, Jane brings you through to the consultation room to review your images and X-rays together. This is an important part of the process. Rather than receiving a summary after the fact, you sit with the team and go through the findings directly, so you have a clear and informed understanding of your dental health before any decisions are made.
Your Personalised Treatment Plan and Quote
After the consultation, the DENTL team takes the time needed to develop a thorough, accurate treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. This includes an itemised quote and a proposed timeline, giving you everything you need to make an informed decision about your care.
