New Patients at Marri Gum Family Dental
Getting Started
A typical first visit involves taking radiographs and photos and lasts about 40 minutes. If you’ve booked in for a cleaning, our hygienist will get that done and then Dr Robert or Dr Adrian will examine your teeth and mouth.
If future appointments are necessary, we’ll schedule you for that and let you know an estimate of costs involved. You may have visited us for a routine checkup, in which case we’ll have you return for another check in six months.
Feeling at Ease and Comfortable
We understand that some people may feel anxiety when going to the dentist. Our team likes to get to know you and start slowly with your visits, spending time to get to know you without starting on any procedures. You’re welcome to bring someone in with you for moral support that can accompany you to the treatment room. Additionally, we offer happy gas and sedation options.
If your child is nervous, Dr Robert and Dr Adrian are wonderful at working with children and helping them to feel relaxed. Our young patients especially enjoy watching the television mounted in the ceiling during their visits.
