PATIENTS

First Visit Expectations

your comfort is our priority

We know the first visit to any doctor’s office can be intimidating so we want your time with us to be as comfortable as possible. During your first visit, our team will get to know you by asking some questions about your medical and oral health history. Please bring a list of any medications you may be taking and their dosages, including all vitamins and supplements. We love to educate our patients and answer questions, so don’t be shy! We encourage you to ask questions and express your concerns or desires.

Next, we will perform a comprehensive oral exam that may include x-rays, periodontal probing, charting of your existing restorations, and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease are present, you will have a routine cleaning. If we notice signs of periodontal disease, we may reschedule the cleaning portion of your visit to allow for more time.

Once your exam is complete, your doctor will review their findings with you and work on a treatment plan that reflects your wants and needs while giving you a functional, healthy smile. We offer many payment options and can prioritize and stagger your treatments to give you a smile you deserve in a timeframe you can afford.
