A new patient appointment at Malone Dental Belfast is a comprehensive first visit designed to give your dentist a complete picture of your oral health. The appointment includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, along with any necessary X-rays and imaging. Your dentist will review your dental and medical history, discuss any concerns or goals you have, and carry out screenings for decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. This initial assessment forms the foundation for a personalised care plan tailored to your needs, whether that involves routine maintenance, restorative work, or cosmetic treatment. There’s no pressure and no rush — the appointment is an open conversation about your dental health and the best way to move forward.
