A first visit to Natural Smiles starts with a consultation and a 3D CBCT scan. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD reads your dental history and health history together before recommending anything. You leave with a written treatment plan that lists priorities, sequence and a cost estimate.
Who the first visit is for
Natural Smiles is a biological dentistry practice at 132 Mirror Lake Dr. N., Unit 101, in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD has more than 20 years of biological practice. New patients start here, and the first visit sets the pace for what follows.
The visit opens with a consultation and a 3D CBCT scan. Dr. Litano uses both to read the dental history and the health history side by side. No recommendation comes before that review happens. The plan that follows depends on what the history and the scan show together, not on either piece alone.
What to bring
A few items help the first visit go smoothly. Bring:
- the health history
- a list of medications and known sensitivities
- records or imaging from previous dentists, if available
These items become part of the record that gets reviewed later in the visit, alongside the scan.
Inside the consultation and 3D scan
The visit starts with the history. The dental past, the health history and the patient’s concerns go on record in the patient’s words. This happens before any imaging, so the conversation sets the stage for what the scan will later show.
The 3D CBCT scan comes next. It captures teeth, bone, old dental work and the airway all at once. A single scan covers ground that might otherwise take several separate images, giving Dr. Litano a full picture to work from.
How the history and scan are reviewed together
Once the history is on record and the scan is complete, the two are read together with Dr. Litano. The findings are walked through on screen, so you can see what the scan and history show at the same time Dr. Litano does.
Nothing about this review is rushed. It happens before any treatment talk begins, and it forms the basis for the plan that comes next.
What the patient leaves with
You leave the first visit with a written treatment plan. It lists priorities, sequence and a cost estimate, all in writing, before any decisions get made.
Costs depend on the treatment plan itself, and a written estimate comes before any work starts. The team walks through payment and insurance reimbursement options during the consultation, so you know the numbers from the start.
The plan might include a new patient exam, SMART mercury removal or zirconia ceramic implants, depending on what the scan and history show. The plan reflects what that particular visit uncovers.
What to do next
No referral is needed to book a visit, and a booking request gets a same day reply. A patient who lives out of state can complete treatment without booking a separate trip. A private apartment directly above the clinic is available.
To take the next step, send a booking request to Natural Smiles.
