During your first visit you will meet your care team and complete your comprehensive exam, oral cancer screening and hygiene (cleaning) appointments.
Dr. Clarke, MBBS, DDS, who is the only dentist in The Bahamas, with both a dental and medical degree will complete your exams.
Our comprehensive exam is a thorough assessment of your oral cavity which includes each tooth, the gums and tongue.
The oral cancer screening includes looking for the presence of any patches or mouth sores, lumps or other abnormalities.
We also perform a head and neck exam as your oral cavity is the gateway to your entire body.
Further, a complete medical history as well as any medications you're currently taking are recorded.
This allows us to not only discover any treatment needed but also determine the underlying causes of said treatment.
Our practice philosophy is integrative care combining both medicine and dentistry to give you the best treatment for your individual needs.
Your hygiene appointment will be completed by Mika Lockhart, RDH. During this appointment you will be given noise cancelling headphones and may watch your favorite television series from our ceiling mounted tv.
Next, after completing your clinical appointments you will meet with one of our Treatment Coordinators to discuss the cost of any treatment needed, your member discounts and the payment plans available to you.
