What To Expect At Your Consultation
Your first appointment with Tom is designed to be informative, structured and relaxed. The aim is to understand what you want to change, assess your oral health, and talk through options that make sense for you. You can expect:
A Thorough Assessment
Tom will examine your teeth, gums and bite, and discuss anything that may affect your options. Where helpful, we may use digital imaging or digital scans to improve accuracy and planning. This supports precision, comfort and clearer visualisation, so you understand what is being considered.
A Clear Conversation About Your Goals
You will have time to explain what you like about your smile and what you would like to improve. Tom will talk you through suitable options, including more conservative or phased approaches where appropriate.
A Bespoke Plan, Explained In Plain English
If cosmetic treatment is being considered, Tom will outline the recommended steps, likely timescales, and what ongoing maintenance may involve. Fees are discussed transparently, and there is no pressure to proceed.
