The First Visit
Diagnose before you treat.
At ASURA Longevity Dentistry, your first visit is not a quick check-up. It is a comprehensive diagnostic assessment designed to understand the complete picture of your oral health, function, airway, and aesthetics. We believe that exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional diagnosis.
What to Expect: Step-by-Step
1. Understanding You
Before we look at your teeth, we listen. We review your medical and dental history, understand your concerns, and discuss your long-term goals for your health and smile.
2. Digital Diagnostics
We gather precise data using state-of-the-art technology. This includes low-dose digital radiographs (X-rays), high-resolution clinical photography, and a 3D intraoral scan of your teeth and bite.
3. Clinical Examination
A thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw joints (TMJ), chewing muscles, and oral soft tissues. We also screen for oral cancer and signs of sleep-disordered breathing or airway issues.
4. Risk Assessment
Following the Kois Philosophy, we evaluate your individual risk in four key areas: Biomechanics (tooth structure), Periodontal (gum health), Functional (bite and chewing), and Dentofacial (aesthetics).
5. Personalised Treatment Planning
We compile all our findings to create a comprehensive report. We will discuss our diagnosis with you in plain English and present tailored options to restore and maintain your health for the long term.
Advanced Diagnostics Technology
We do not guess. We measure. Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art digital technology to ensure every diagnosis is precise, objective, and comprehensive.
Digital Photography
High-resolution macro photography allows us to analyse tooth structure, gum health, and facial aesthetics in microscopic detail.
Intraoral Scanners
We replace messy impressions with highly accurate 3D digital scans of your teeth and bite, creating a virtual model of your mouth.
CBCT Imaging
Where clinically indicated, 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides detailed views of bone structure, nerve pathways, and airway volume.
Digital Smile Design
We virtually design your new smile, allowing you to see the planned outcome and ensuring optimal facial harmony before any treatment begins.
Occlusal Analysis
We evaluate how your teeth meet and function, identifying interferences that cause tooth wear, chipping, or jaw pain.
Airway Assessment
We screen for signs of sleep-disordered breathing, mouth breathing, and structural airway restrictions as part of our holistic approach.
