Visiting a new dental clinic for the first time can feel a little daunting — but at Dove Dental Spa in Earlsfield, Wandsworth, we’re here to make your experience as welcoming, calm, and comfortable as possible. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up, a cosmetic consultation, or specific treatment, your first visit is an important step towards better oral health and a brighter smile.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect during your first visit to Dove Dental Spa.

A Warm Welcome
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by a friendly, professional team in a serene, spa-like environment. Our reception area is designed to help you relax and feel at ease, with calming décor and refreshments available while you wait.

If you haven’t already filled out your medical and dental history forms online, we’ll provide them for you to complete. These forms help us understand your health background, concerns, and goals for your smile.

Comprehensive Consultation
Your first appointment includes a detailed consultation with one of our experienced dentists. We’ll take time to listen to your concerns, whether it’s about a specific issue, cosmetic enhancements, or general oral health maintenance.

We believe that dental care should be collaborative — we’ll discuss your goals, answer any questions, and help you feel fully informed and confident about your treatment plan.

Full Oral Examination
To get a complete picture of your oral health, we’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. This may include:

  • Digital X-rays to check bone levels and detect hidden issues
  • An assessment for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or infection
  • Bite and jaw alignment check
  • Oral cancer screening

This thorough approach helps us build a clear and accurate foundation for your ongoing care.

Teeth Cleaning (Optional or Scheduled Separately)
Depending on your needs and time, your first visit may also include a hygiene appointment for a professional clean and polish. If not, we’ll schedule a separate session tailored to your oral hygiene requirements.

Our hygienists use gentle, effective techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.

Personalised Treatment Plan
Based on our findings and your personal goals, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan. Whether you need preventive care, restorative work, or cosmetic improvements like teeth whitening or Invisalign, we’ll outline your options and guide you through each step with complete transparency.

What to Bring to Your First Visit
To help us serve you best, please bring:

  • A list of any medications you’re currently taking
  • Your dental insurance details (if applicable)
  • Any previous dental records or X-rays (if available)
