New Patient Comprehensive Exam in Dee Why: Your First Step to a Healthy Smile
If you’re new to Dee Why Dental, your comprehensive exam is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a complete understanding of your oral health.
This is more than a quick check-up. It’s a detailed assessment that helps us identify issues early, explain your options clearly, and plan the right care for you, now and long term.
Ideal for: New patients, returning patients after a long gap, or anyone wanting a fresh, professional second opinion.
What’s included in a New Patient Comprehensive Exam
During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your full dental picture.
Your visit may include:
✔ Review of your medical and dental history
✔ Thorough examination of teeth, gums and soft tissues
✔ Digital X-rays where clinically required
✔ 3D intraoral scan to assess tooth structure and bite
✔ Gum health assessment
✔ Oral cancer screening
✔ Discussion of findings with your dentist
✔ Clear explanation of any concerns and next steps
Where appropriate, we’ll also outline treatment priorities so you can make informed decisions at your own pace.
Why a comprehensive exam matters
Many dental issues don’t cause pain until they’re advanced. A comprehensive exam allows us to:
Detect decay, gum disease, and wear early
Identify issues not visible to the naked eye
Prevent small problems becoming complex or costly
Create a personalised treatment plan based on your needs
For new patients, this appointment sets a strong foundation for long-term oral health.
What happens after your exam?
At the end of your visit, your dentist will walk you through:
Your current oral health status
Any recommended treatments, prioritised by urgency
Preventative care options
Ongoing maintenance or recall timing
Some patients may require further treatment. Others may simply return for routine check-ups and cleans. Either way, you’ll leave with clarity and no pressure.
Costs and health funds
The cost of a new patient comprehensive exam can vary depending on individual needs, X-rays required, and health fund cover.
Our team will always explain what’s involved and provide clarity before proceeding. If you have private health insurance, we’re happy to assist with rebates where applicable.
