How we work

A plan built around you

Quality dental care begins with a comprehensive examination and diagnosis — the blueprint every treatment is built on.

  1. 1

    A warm welcome

    You'll be greeted by our team and settled in. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete your New Patient Packet, or print and bring it with you.

  2. 2

    A dental physical

    A full evaluation of every structure in the mouth: head and neck muscles, the jaw joint, gums, jaw bone, soft tissues and teeth — plus radiographs and photographs.

  3. 3

    Diagnosis and recommendations

    Dr. Hughes studies the findings, then personally reviews the important results with you along with his treatment recommendations.

  4. 4

    Your personalised plan

    Together we agree the sequence, the timing and the cost, including any financing you'd like to use, before treatment begins.
