What to Expect During a Virtual Dental Appointment

Gone are the days when seeing a dentist required rearranging your schedule, sitting in traffic, or flipping through outdated magazines in a waiting room. Teledentistry is changing the way we think about oral health—offering convenient access to expert care from wherever you are. If it’s your first time booking a virtual dental visit, here’s exactly what to expect.

Pre-Appointment Setup

Before your scheduled session, you’ll receive an email or text with:

• A secure video link to your appointment
• Simple instructions for accessing the platform on your computer or smartphone
• A digital intake form to share your medical history, symptoms, or questions

💡 Pro Tip: Choose a quiet, well-lit space and test your internet connection to avoid hiccups during the call.

Virtual Check-in and Introductions

Your appointment will begin just like an in-person visit—with a warm welcome. Your dentist or hygienist will:

• Introduce themselves and explain the goals of the session
• Confirm your symptoms, health history, or dental concerns
• Walk you through how the virtual exam will work

Oral Health Evaluation

Using your device’s camera, your provider will guide you to:

• Show areas of concern (e.g., a sore gum, chipped tooth, or swelling)
• Demonstrate bite alignment or jaw movement if needed
• Discuss any changes or discomfort you’ve noticed

While this isn’t a substitute for hands-on care, it’s an effective way to assess whether you need follow-up treatment.

Personalized Advice and Recommendations

Depending on the evaluation, your provider may:

• Offer at-home care tips and hygiene guidance
• Prescribe medications (like antibiotics or pain relief) if appropriate
• Recommend an in-person follow-up for procedures like x-rays, cleanings, or fillings

Expect a clear explanation of the next steps and answers to all your questions.

Post-Visit Summary and Resources

After your appointment, you’ll receive:

• A summary of what was discussed
• Treatment plan recommendations
• Any prescriptions or referrals if needed

Your provider might also share tips, product suggestions, or links to oral care resources.
