Consultations & Your First Visit

What happens during a consultation at Mint & Marine Dental Studio?

Your consultation is a comprehensive oral assessment. It includes a full clinical examination, HD (high-definition) digital X-rays where needed, an intra-oral camera, a 3D intra-oral scan using our KP Smile 2 scanner, and a personalised written treatment plan supported by the scanner's AI analysis. You also receive access to your own X-rays and records.

I already have X-rays from another dentist, do I still need a consultation?

Yes. You are welcome to share your existing X-rays and we will add them to your records, but a consultation is far more than a single X-ray: it includes a full examination, a 3D scan and a personalised plan. A new practitioner also needs a current, complete picture to advise you safely.
