We want to make sure that your first visit isn't your last!
What to Expect at Your First Visit
When you come in for your first visit, we ask you to assist us by bringing in a few pieces of information. These include any panoramic X-rays taken in the last six months and your dental insurance card, if you happen to have dental insurance. Also, please be prepared to complete insurance and health information forms when you arrive here for your initial visit.
What to Expect for Your First Visit
During this visit, our goal is to get to know you better, become familiar with your past dental experiences, and establish a treatment plan that will give you the best results. This initial examination with us will last about one hour. The doctor will provide a thorough exam and typically clean your teeth as well. Generally, X-rays will be taken, allowing us to examine your mouth for tooth decay, jaw problems, periodontal problems, and any possible signs of oral cancer. These records we take will help your doctor outline any existing dental problems and proposed treatment.
