Your First Dental Visit in the Financial District (94104)
What to Expect • Comprehensive Initial Examination
Your initial appointment at Digital Dental Practice typically begins with a comprehensive clinical examination, a complete diagnostic series of digital X-rays, a thorough review of your tailored treatment options, and a professional dental prophylaxis (cleaning). Please note that if a routine cleaning does not meet your specific clinical requirements, we will re-evaluate your periodontal needs and schedule you for the appropriate restorative or periodontal therapy.
Same-Day Treatment and Care Planning
When clinically appropriate and mutually convenient, restorative treatment may be initiated on the same day as your initial examination and consultation. However, a complex medical history, specific systemic precautions, or comprehensive treatment planning may require a dedicated secondary appointment to ensure proper education, precise preparation, and optimal clinical execution.
