First Dental Visit & Dental Exam

We’re excited that you’re here and ready to get your healthy smile on! Rest assured we’re in this together, and our job is to keep you smiling every step of the way!

Check-in

We ask that you come in 15 minutes before your appointment, so you have time to complete your paperwork.

Our Patient Coordinator will get you started on your new patient paperwork. Existing patients will verify their details on file. Our new system provides you access to your details in addition to allowing you to make payments online.

What should I bring with me?

• Dental X-rays from the last six months. We can take X-rays if you don’t have them.
• Your medical and dental history information, including any medications you’re taking.
• Your dental insurance card (if you have insurance).
• Your parent if you’re under 18 (or if you’re over 18, but just want the company).

During the Visit

You will meet with your dentist to talk about your medical history. Share any oral health worries or fears with the doctor. Your comfort is most important, so we encourage you to ask questions.

Next, your dentist will likely examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, and take x-rays and/or panoramic radiographs.

Then, the comprehensive exam will be completed by your dentist, who will check for things like tooth decay, gum disease, and other things that can affect not just your mouth, but your overall health. Then you’ll talk together about any treatments you might benefit from.

When Treatment is Needed

After your comprehensive exam, should you need treatment you will be introduced to our Treatment Coordinator. Together you will customize a treatment plan, set the expectation(s) of the next visit(s), and confirm you completely understand all treatment. Our goal is to address all your questions and concerns and determine a financial plan that fits most comfortably in your lifestyle.
