First appointment
We are excited to meet you and are honored that you have chosen our practice for your dental needs!
It is a good idea to arrive 15 minutes early in order to provide us the following information so we can maximize your appointment time:
- Insurance information
- Complete Medical History; including a list of all of your Medications.
What to expect on your first visit
This appointment is our chance to get to know you. We will gather as much information as possible from you in order to help you reach your dental goals and needs safely, comfortably and efficiently.
With your permission, your first visit may include the following:
- A review of your medical and dental history
- An intra-oral and extra-oral exam
- A review of X-rays (if you don’t have X-rays taken within 1 year, we recommend having them taken at this time)
- A thorough exam of your teeth for cavities, cracks, chipped teeth, missing teeth, discolored teeth, and missing or broken fillings
- An exam of gums and bone for signs of disease.
- Scaling (cleaning)
- Polishing
- Fluoride Rinse (if recommended)
- Oral hygiene instructions (if recommended)
At the end of this appointment we will go over any issues that were discovered during the exam with you, the different treatment options for addressing these issues, and then form a customized treatment plan in order to suit your needs.
Again, we are excited to meet you and welcome you to your dental home!
