What to Expect

We’re excited that you’re here and ready to go get your healthy smile on!
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.
