First look and a polish
A new mouth gets a chart, a mirror tour, and a cleaning when the gums are ready. Radiographs are a separate yes, not a surprise add-on after you sit up.
What the chair is for
Four jobs this room is built to finish
Open a row to read the visit. Nothing here is a coupon. The desk quotes the tooth you actually have.
A filling matched to the tooth
Small decay is cleaned and sealed in a shade close to the enamel beside it. You leave with a note about chewing on that side for the afternoon.
A crown when the walls are thin
Two stops: shape and temporary, then the finished cap. The fee sheet is on the counter before the first stop, so the temporary is not a hostage.
An extraction when keeping it hurts more
Some teeth are finished. The visit is numbing, a clear explanation, and after-care you can read in the car on Boston Turnpike.
