Many dentists offer consultations to potential patients to discuss their dental needs and treatment options. Consultations typically involve a comprehensive examination of the patient's teeth and gums, a review of their dental history, and a discussion of the patient's goals for their dental health. During the consultation, the dentist will assess the patient's oral health and make recommendations for treatment.
The cost of a dental consultation varies depending on the dentist and the location of the practice. Some dentists offer free consultations, while others charge a fee. The fee for a consultation is typically applied to the cost of treatment if the patient decides to proceed with the recommended care.
