Your First Visit
A first visit to a new dentist can feel unfamiliar. Here is what to expect, so you can ask any questions you have.
01
Our team asks about your dental and medical history, so your dentist understands your needs before the examination.
02
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and bite. X-rays are taken if necessary, and a professional clean may be included.
03
Your dentist explains what they found and answers your questions. If more treatment is recommended, you receive a written treatment plan with costs before treatment begins. You can take time to consider it, ask for a second opinion or decline the proposed care.
Before You Arrive
