Patient-Centered Approach from the First Visit
We are 100% committed to making your first visit to our office as smooth, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- A warm welcome from our friendly front office team.
- An open conversation where we’ll listen to your needs, concerns, and goals for your smile.
- A comprehensive dental exam, including an oral cancer screening and full mouth examination of your teeth and gums.
- Low-radiation digital X-rays, if needed.
- A standard dental cleaning (assuming that no Periodontal or major dental issues are present).
After the checkup, the doctor will meet with you to discuss your X-rays and recommend a treatment plan to improve your overall dental health. The detailed plan will explain the procedures and offer a total price estimate based on your insurance coverage.
A treatment coordinator will be available to answer any treatment-specific or financial questions you may have. If you decide to proceed, we’ll schedule your next appointment for preventive care or a restorative procedure from your treatment plan.
