We start with a detailed medical and dental history to understand your current health, medications, allergies, and any concerns you may have. This conversation helps us tailor your care to your unique needs and identify any conditions that may impact treatment planning.

If necessary or not done recently, we take digital X-rays or 3D cone beam scans. Our imaging uses up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays and gives Dr. Sung a complete view of your teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures to catch problems early.

Dr. Sung will conduct a careful, hands-on examination of your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and soft tissues. We check for cavities, gum disease, cracks, worn enamel, TMJ issues, oral cancer signs, and anything else that could affect your oral health and overall well-being.

Once we have a complete picture of your oral health, we discuss what we found, answer your questions, and explain any recommended treatments in plain language. You'll know exactly what needs attention, why it matters, and what your options are—no pressure, just honest guidance.

We set aside time at the end of every first visit for your questions. No question is too small or too basic. We want you to feel informed and confident about your care. If you need time to think about treatment or want a second opinion, we fully support that.

Before you leave, we'll help you plan your next appointment if treatment is needed. Our team will also review your insurance coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and financing options so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises, just clarity and support.
