New Patients
At Doctors Dental Service in Bartlett, TN , we strive to meet your
concerns by answering these four questions:
-
What's my problem?
-
What needs to be done to fix my problem?
-
How long will it take to fix my problem?
-
How much does it cost?
As a new patient, your first visit includes
a comprehensive oral exam, intra-oral pictures, periodontal exam, TMJ and
oral cancer screening along with a full set of x-rays. A complete diagnosis
and treatment plan is then prepared for a consultation visit. Any questions
you may have are answered at this time, as well as the four questions mentioned
above. We prepare an individualized treatment plan for you to take with
you and refer to at any time.
Patient Safety
To protect our patients and ourselves, our staff wears masks, gloves, glasses,
as well as hospital scrub uniforms. We strictly observe all Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. All instruments are
cleaned, disinfected and routinely sterilized as recommended by the American
Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control. We use a single
unit water system to ensure that all bacteria is killed and not inoculated
in the water lines. All surfaces in the treatment rooms are cleaned and
disinfected after each patient.
Patient Comfort
You are not alone if you feel anxious about a visit to the dentist. We
understand and share your concerns and strive to make every dental visit
comfortable. If there is anything else we can do, let us know. In addition
to topical and local anesthetic, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available
for those patients who may need a little more.
Cosmetic
Dentistry
For the smile you have always wanted, our imaging system allows you to
"preview" what your smile could look like. Cosmetic dentistry encompasses
reshaping your teeth, veneers or bonding, natural looking tooth colored
fillings and whitening (bleaching).

Orthodontics
For patients, adults and children, who have crowded or crooked teeth, spaces
between their teeth or misaligned teeth and jaws, orthodontic therapy can
help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and trauma due to protruding
teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children
have an evaluation by 7 years of age. More than 25% of all orthodontic
patients are adults.
Hygiene
An integral part of maintaining your teeth for life is the removal of plaque
and tartar on a regular basis. The frequency of your visits is based upon
your individual needs and oral health. During your visit we will update
your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening exam, check your
teeth for cavities, review oral hygiene instructions, and monitor your
periodontal (gum) condition. We see adult patients as well as children
in the Memphis, TN area.
