Perhaps you haven’t been to the dentist in quite some time, but have resolved to start taking better care of your oral health. Superior dental care in Federal Way is offered by Dr. Egger and his team at Graham T. Egger Cosmetic & Family Dentistry.
So what can you expect from your first dental appointment with Dr. Egger? A relaxed, yet thorough and informative exam that allows him to take an inventory of the overall health of your mouth. This initial exam can involve:
1. A visual inspection of your face and neck for any abnormalities such as bumps, lumps or swelling.
2. A careful inspection of the mouth for any ulcers or abnormal discoloration of the lips or inside the mouth, including a screening for oral cancer.
3. A thorough examination of the gums and jawbone for any signs of gingivitis, periodontal disease (serious form of gum disease), or bone disease.
4. Screening of the teeth for any signs of cavities, tooth decay or other concerns.
5. If required, x-rays will be taken. Then he will review your dental and health history information to identify any problems or concerns that may relate to your dental health.
Following your evaluation, Dr. Egger offers a complimentary comprehensive consultation to discuss with you any necessary treatment required. This includes a printed treatment plan packet that reviews all findings and recommendations, along with an itemized estimate.
If you have dental insurance, we are happy to assist you to estimate the benefits available for the treatment and any out-of-pocket expense that you may incur.
By means of this thorough, detailed examination, you will be in a position to make informed decisions regarding your oral health. So if you have avoided the dentist for years or if you are simply looking for a dentist to provide you with honest and skilled dental care, Federal Way residents can turn to Dr. Egger. We encourage you to book your first dental appointment with Dr. Egger today.
