What to Expect at Your First Visit 首次就诊期待什么
Your initial consultation at Centre Dental typically takes 45-60 minutes and is designed to give you a complete understanding of your dental health and treatment options. 中央牙科的初次咨询通常需要45-60分钟，旨在让您全面了解口腔健康状况和治疗选择。
Welcome & Check-In 欢迎与登记
Arrive 15 minutes early to complete intake forms. Our bilingual front desk team (English & Chinese) will greet you and make you feel at home. We'll review your medical history and any previous dental records you've brought. 请提前15分钟到达以填写登记表格。我们的双语前台团队（英语和中文）将热情接待您。我们会审查您的病史和您带来的任何以前的牙科记录。
Comprehensive Examination 全面检查
Your doctor will perform a thorough oral examination, checking your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We assess the health of any existing teeth and evaluate areas of concern, including missing or failing teeth. 医生将进行全面口腔检查，检查牙齿、牙龈、咬合和颌骨。我们评估现有牙齿的健康状况，并评估需要关注的区域，包括缺失或受损的牙齿。
3D CBCT Imaging 3D CBCT影像
Using our in-office CBCT scanner, we capture a detailed 3D image of your jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. This advanced imaging takes just seconds and provides far more information than traditional X-rays — essential for precise implant planning. 使用诊所内的CBCT扫描仪，我们捕获颌骨、神经和鼻窦的详细3D图像。这种先进的影像检查仅需几秒钟，提供比传统X光片更多的信息——这对精确的植牙规划至关重要。
Digital Impressions 数字取模
If applicable, we use the iTero 5D digital scanner to create a precise 3D model of your mouth — no messy impression trays needed. This digital scan helps us design your custom treatment plan with millimeter accuracy. 如适用，我们使用iTero 5D数字扫描仪创建口腔的精确3D模型——无需混乱的取模托盘。此数字扫描帮助我们以毫米级精度设计您的定制治疗方案。

We'll discuss all available treatment options, recommended approaches, expected timelines, and answer every question you have. There is absolutely no pressure or obligation to proceed. 医生将用清晰易懂的语言解释检查结果——英语或中文均可。我们将讨论所有可用的治疗选项、推荐方案、预期时间线，并回答您的每一个问题。绝对没有压力或义务继续治疗。
Cost Estimate & Next Steps 费用估算与后续步骤
Our treatment coordinator will provide a detailed cost breakdown, verify your insurance benefits, and explain financing options including 0% APR plans. If you're ready, we can schedule your treatment; if not, take all the time you need to decide. 我们的治疗协调员将提供详细的费用明细，核实您的保险福利，并解释包括0%利率方案在内的分期选项。如果您准备好了，我们可以安排治疗时间；如果没有，请花您所需的时间来决定。

New Patient FAQs 新患者常见问题
We offer complimentary consultations for dental implant evaluations. This includes a clinical examination and discussion of your treatment options. The 3D CBCT scan, included as part of your evaluation, is a separate fee that may be covered by your insurance. 我们提供免费的植牙评估咨询。这包括临床检查和治疗方案讨论。作为评估的一部分，3D CBCT扫描费用可能由您的保险覆盖。
No referral is needed. You can book a consultation directly with Centre Dental. However, if your general dentist has records or X-rays, bringing them along can help us get a more complete picture of your dental history. 不需要转诊。您可以直接与中央牙科预约咨询。但如果您的全科牙医有记录或X光片，带来可以帮助我们更全面地了解您的牙科历史。
That's completely okay! Many of our patients haven't seen a dentist in a long time. We provide a judgment-free, compassionate environment. Our team will assess your current situation and work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs, one step at a time. 完全没问题！我们的许多患者很长时间没有看过牙医。我们提供一个没有评判、充满同情心的环境。我们的团队会评估您当前的情况，并与您一起制定循序渐进的治疗方案。
