Transcript

Dr. Azita Vakili: Our first appointments usually last about an hour and a half to two hours. We go over the patient’s records, medical history, and dental history. We also talk about what they’d like to see and what their dream smile looks like. Then we figure out whether we can help, how much we can do, and how quickly, and we work through all of that together with the patient. Once patients understand all of their options, the choice is theirs. They decide what’s best for them.
