Your first time visiting a new dentist, especially if you haven’t been in a while, can be nerve-racking. Our dentists and staff will do their best to put your mind at ease and clearly explain everything you need to know. Learn more about what your first visit will entail, financing options, and forms you can fill out beforehand.
Our staff will talk to you about any issues or concerns you have, like pain or sensitivity, and about any cosmetic changes you may want, like teeth whitening and straightening.
The dentist will then examine your teeth for issues like cavities, tooth decay, and infections as well as check previous dental work for problems. They will also check your gums for periodontal disease. Then a screening will be done to check for signs of oral cancer. The dental exam is finished with x-rays to get a complete picture of what’s going on.
The dentist will go over their findings and what your options are for treatment. After your treatment is planned out, our staff will discuss with you the pricing, insurance options, and 3rd party financing options.
During your visit, you will have a professional cleaning done. Dental cleanings are an important part of oral health and help prevent future problems.
For your first visit, we ask new patients to complete our online new patient form. This form provides us with your contact and insurance information, as well as details about any current oral health concerns, pre-existing conditions, or allergies that might affect your treatment. If you need assistance completing the form, our staff will be happy to help during your appointment. Please remember to bring your insurance card and a valid ID with you to your first appointment.
