Patient Information
Our team believes that your right to choose a periodontist is an important freedom. We work closely with your dentist, but a referral by a dentist is not required to visit our office. We also welcome referrals from patients and friends of the practice.
We are extraordinarily proud of our staff, which is composed of caring and dedicated professionals. They ensure that the patient’s surgical and administrative needs are met as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
At Sarasota Periodontal Associates, we understand that visiting a dentist for the first time can be a nerve-wracking experience. That’s why we go out of our way to make our patients feel as comfortable and welcomed as possible during their initial visit.
On your initial visit, we’ll start with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, and we may take X-rays if needed. This allows us to gain a deeper insight into your oral health, pinpointing any potential issues that might need attention.
Following that,our team will discuss your oral health history and any questions or concerns you might have. We prioritize attentive listening to our patients, addressing their worries, and offering recommendations tailored to the best course of action based on their individual oral health requirements.
Based on our findings, we might conduct a dental prophylaxis during your initial visit to eliminate any plaque or tartar buildup on your teeth. Additionally, our team will offer valuable tips and guidance for maintaining excellent oral health at home, including advice on healthy eating habits and proper techniques for brushing and flossing.
