Your First Periodontist Visit to Melbourne Periocare

Welcome to Melbourne Periocare! Our team is committed to making your first periodontist visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We thank you for trusting us with your periodontal health.

Here’s what you can expect during your initial appointment:

What to Expect

During your first visit, Dr. Nupur Kataria will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. She will review your medical and dental history and listen to your concerns and questions. This assessment will help formulate a diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The initial visit typically lasts about 45 minutes. If you are experiencing pain or an emergency, we will do our best to see you the same day or make arrangements to have you seen as soon as possible.

What to Bring

To ensure a smooth and efficient first visit, please bring the following items:

1. Referral form (if referred by your dentist)
2. Relevant X-rays taken in the last 12 months
3. List of current medications
4. Dental insurance cards
5. Completed new patient form

Providing these documents will help us better understand your dental history and expedite your care.
