We feel that your first visit to our office is a very important one. Meeting a new patient, performing a comprehensive examination, and formulating a treatment plan based not only on clinical information, but on a patient's vision as well, is vital to the successful outcome of your treatment.

Dr. Hutchison has a unique protocol that helps him in determining an individualized treatment plan for each patient. The initial examination appointment is extensive and comprehensive and may consist not only of a clinical evaluation, but an update of x-rays, initial diagnostic impressions of your teeth, and digital photographs. It is critical to evaluate a patient's needs based on their periodontal (gum & bone) health, their biomechanical (existing tooth structure and previous dentistry) considerations, function (joint, bite and chewing), and dentofacial (smile) characteristics. We will discuss possible treatment options and the fees associated with those options. Once the treatment needs have been established, we will assist you in coordinating the necessary appointments to manage that treatment. We will also work closely with you to help facilitate any treatment that may involve other dental specialists.

We invite you to call to discuss your particular needs, and to schedule an appointment with us at our next available appointment time.

Please remember to bring your insurance card and a list of any medications that you take on a regular basis.

You would not believe the kind and courteous doctor and staff in Dr. Butch Hutchison's Office. They are very warm and welcoming. Dr. Hutchison is a great dentist with a very caring heart. You will be glad to have he and his staff take care of your dental needs.
