What to Expect at Your First Visit

Our team understands that visiting a dental office may not be your preferred activity and can provoke unpleasant associations. We do our utmost to make your visits comfortable and personalized as possible! If your visit is due to a dental emergency, we may adjust our process, but in general, you can expect:

A Warm Welcome

The moment you step inside our door, we’ll be there to welcome you! Our front office staff loves building close relationships with our patients, and we’re excited to welcome you into our dental family.

Meet the Team

You’ll be introduced to our team members, who are here to provide you with friendly dental care every time you visit our office. It’s perfectly all right if you don’t remember the names of our staff, but we make it a point to remember yours!

Office Tour

We’ll show you around our office so you can become familiar with where our fully equipped exam rooms, restroom, and exits are. We also do our best to provide attentive care so you’ll rarely be left alone during your appointment unless necessary. During the tour, you’ll notice our commitment to using the Latest Dental Technology including a soft tissue laser, low-radiation cone beam CT scanner, and VELscope® Fluorescence Visualization device. Each of these are used to ensure diagnostics and treatment is precise.

Digital X-Rays

An important part of your first visit is x-rays. These provide an in-depth view of your oral structures and the high-resolution images enable our dentists to spot small cracks, cavities, and other problems with your teeth.

Consultation

The next step of your appointment is a personalized consultation with one of our dentists. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss what you do and don’t like about your current smile as well as any dental problems you may be experiencing.

Examination

One of our dentists will complete a thorough oral examination of your tissues, gums, bone, and teeth. We’ll check for decay, disease, and infection, as well as complete an oral cancer screening.

Hygiene Cleaning

Finally, we’ll complete a dental hygiene cleaning. Our hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, carefully floss your teeth, then polish them with a gritty toothpaste.

Complimentary Gifts

You’ll always leave our office with a gift bag including floss or floss-ups, toothpaste, and a new toothbrush. That way you can enjoy your newly cleaned teeth and maintain proper oral health until your next visit!

Putting Affordable Dental Care Within Reach

Our team wants to ensure that all our patients can afford to have healthy smiles for life. To that end, we accept many dental insurance plans and are here to help you maximize your benefits. We also partner with third-party dental financing companies that provide low monthly payment plans for those who don’t have dental insurance and/or need costly procedures. We’ll help make sure that quality, comfortable dental care is affordable for you and your family!
