What to Expect At Your First Appointment:
Upon your first visit to our office, Dr. Tunzi will meet with you to review your medical and dental history, evaluate your overall oral health. Dr. Tunzi and staff will be available to answer any questions you might have and go over any possible needed dental treatments. Many times the patient's needs can be addressed at the first visit, although in some cases where more extensive treatment is required or desired, a follow up visit will be scheduled to address any concerns. Treatment plans are provided to patients before treatment begins. No treatment will ever be performed without the patient's complete understanding and consent.
Office Philosophy and Procedures:
Digital x-rays, ultraviolet, photography and ultrasonic advances have allowed us to provide our patients with the latest in dental techniques and materials. Combining that with many hours of continuing education, we are confident in the state of the art dentistry we provide. Our office follows all recommended protocol to insure that the cleanliness and sterilization of all equipment, and therefore the protection of patients, is assured.
Hygiene Appointments:
Regular routine hygiene appointments are necessary to prevent cavities and keep your teeth and gums as healthy as they can be. Once Dr. Tunzi diagnoses what kind of cleaning you require, you will meet with one of our wonderful hygienists for a cleaning. They will provide you with all the necessary treatments to clean your teeth and prevent any dental issues from occurring. After the hygienist is done, Dr Tunzi will come back to review the findings from the cleaning as well as any xrays taken during that appointment. Any further needed treatment will either be sent to your insurance company for authorization or put onto a treatment plan with a cost breakdown so that you know what to expect for your needed dental work. If it is necessary, Dr Tunzi will refer you to a specialist in the surrounding area who can better address your dental needs. We do have 3 different hygienists who work on different days throughout the week - you are more than welcome to change hygienists at any point if you would like to try out someone new and meet other members of the team. If you have specific preferences for hygiene just let the front desk know!
