Welcome to Southridge Dental
Our dentists are committed to providing you with the quality dental care you deserve! We are always happy to welcome new patients to our Lethbridge dental office.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Upon Arrival
Please arrive about 10 minutes early for your first appointment, so that you have time to fill out any necessary forms. You'll wait for your appointment in our reception area, where you'll find plenty of reading materials to keep you occupied, and comfortable seating.
Comprehensive Exam
Your first appointment will take about 90 minutes from start to finish. You and your dentist will begin by discussing your medical history and oral health needs. Next, you will undergo a thorough examination of your gums, teeth, bite and jaws. This will include x-rays, photos, and an oral cancer screening.
Treatment Plan
Based on your medical history and the results of your exam, your dentist will develop a dental treatment plan for you. Your dentist or hygienist will also answer your questions about your dental health and treatment options.
