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.
