First Visit

Your first visit to Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC is an essential step toward achieving optimal oral health. During this initial consultation, Dr. Daniel Reich will evaluate your condition, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you are seeking gum disease treatment, dental implants, or cosmetic periodontal procedures, our team ensures you receive the highest level of care.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

 

At your first appointment, Dr. Reich will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone to assess your oral health. This includes:

  • A detailed review of your medical and dental history
  • A full periodontal assessment to measure gum health and detect signs of gum disease
  • Oral cancer screening and TMJ evaluation

We may also take digital X-rays or 3D imaging to obtain a detailed view of your bone structure and identify any underlying issues. Understanding the health of your gums and jawbone is crucial for planning effective treatments such as gum grafting, bone regeneration, or dental implant placement.

 

How to Prepare for Your First Appointment

To ensure a smooth and efficient visit, please bring the following items with you:

  • A referral slip and any recent dental X-rays from your general dentist
  • A list of current medications and health conditions
  • Your dental insurance card and necessary forms

Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 

If you have a medical condition that requires pre-medication (such as heart murmurs, artificial joints, or severe diabetes), notify our office in advance so we can take necessary precautions.

Personalized Treatment Planning

After completing your exam, Dr. Reich will discuss your diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment options. If periodontal disease is detected, we may suggest procedures such as:

  • Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning to remove plaque and bacteria below the gum line
  • Gum Grafting: Restoring gum tissue lost due to recession
  • Bone Grafting: Strengthening jawbone density for future dental implants

If you are considering dental implants, we will evaluate your bone structure and review options such as immediate implant placement, sinus elevation, or ridge augmentation to ensure the best long-term results.

Advanced Technology for Superior Care

Our East Brunswick office is equipped with the latest dental technology to enhance diagnostics and treatment outcomes. We utilize:

  • Laser Procedures: Minimally invasive treatments for gum disease and soft tissue repair
  • Piezosurgery: A precise and gentle method for bone surgery and implant placement
  • Digital Imaging: High-resolution X-rays and 3D scans for accurate treatment planning

By integrating cutting-edge techniques, we provide more comfortable procedures with faster healing times and improved results for our patients.
