Rest assured we’re in this together, and our job is to keep you smiling every step of the way!
Smile and relax
We get it… a dentist visit isn’t top of your list of fun things to do. We promise we will make you comfortable, give you our best care, utmost respect, and help you get on with your day. Our offices are brimming with friendly, understanding people who know exactly what you’re feeling. We’re here for you, every step of the way!
What happens at my first visit?
You will get a careful oral examination by your dentist, who will check for things like tooth decay, gum disease and other things that can affect not just your mouth, but your overall health. Then you’ll talk together about any treatments you might benefit from.
You may get a teeth cleaning on your first dental visit, or it may be scheduled for a follow-up visit. From start to finish, this first visit will most likely last 1 – 1 1/2 hours so we can make sure we’ve given your smile the attention it needs.
What should I bring with me?
Let’s make sure your visit is a breeze. Don’t forget to bring:
- Dental x-rays from the last six months
- We can take x-rays if you don’t have them
- Your medical and dental history info, including any medications you’re taking
- Your dental insurance card (if you have insurance)
- Your parent if you’re under 18 (or if you’re over 18, but just want the company)
Are you ready to smile? Book your appointment.

Looking for the best dentist can be confusing when there are so many choices. Here are a few questions you can ask to get you started: What type of dentist do I need? If you need routine dental work or aren’t really sure what you need, choose for a general dentist. If you’re looking to fix up your smile, you’ll want a dentist whose focus is cosmetic dentistry. For specialist services, like a root canal or oral surgery, search online for the type of work you need to find the appropriate specialists. Do they take your insurance or offer financing? Find out if the dental office accepts your insurance or provides financing. Some practices offer an in-house dental savings plan which can save you a bunch of money. Are the office hours convenient? Find out if the dentist’s office hours work with your schedule. For instance, you may prefer night and weekend appointments. Finally, check out online reviews to see what other patients are saying about your prospective new dentist.
