Patient Journey

Your step-by-step guide

• Step 1 - Consultation

  Your first step for treatment at Portlethen Dental involves an initial consultation. We take the time to talk to you about your ideal results, how you want your smile to look and feel, any concerns you may have and your options for treatment. We examine your teeth and gums, take x-rays if necessary and ask a little about your general health and medical history.

• Step 2 - Planning

  Based on our consultation and examination, we create your bespoke treatment plan and discuss this with you. We ensure you are aware of the procedures and give you the chance to ask us any questions you need to. We also give you an idea of how long your treatment will take and the fees involved, including information on our payment plans if you would prefer to spread the cost.

• Step 3 - Treatment

  At your convenience, we welcome you back to our practice for your treatment to begin. Depending on your individual case and the type of treatment you need or have chosen, you may need more than one appointment to achieve the best result. We use digital dentistry in virtually all of our treatments to elevate your experience, and our clinicians are highly skilled in ensuring you feel at ease throughout.

• Step 4 - Maintain

  Our dedication to you doesn’t stop when your treatment is complete. We aim to give you healthy and attractive teeth for life through regular check up and hygiene appointments, enabling us to keep an eye on your previous dental work, maintain your oral health and prevent any future problems.
