To get a better idea of what to expect when you come to see us, we’ve included some helpful information below. After reading over everything, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We can’t wait to meet you and show you why so many people are proud to call us their “dental home!”

Your First Dental Visit

Your first visit will involve five basic steps:

  • You’ll be greeted with a smile and checked in by our front desk.
  • After a short wait, you’ll be escorted to a treatment room where a member of our team will take some X-rays and scans of your mouth.
  • You’ll meet your dentist, who will go over the images from earlier and give you an oral exam.
  • Afterward, they’ll discuss their findings with you and recommend any additional treatments you might need. If time allows, you’ll also receive a cleaning from a hygienist.
  • Once you have both agreed on a treatment plan, you’ll be escorted back to the front desk to schedule your next appointment.
