Your First Visit
We’re Glad You’re Here
Your first visit is more than just a check-up; it’s the start of a relationship. Choosing a new dentist can feel like a big step, so we’ve designed the experience to be thorough, relaxed, and actually enjoyable. We want to get to know you, understand your goals, and set you up with a healthy foundation for years of gorgeous, confident smiles.
What to Expect
Step 1: Get Started
Before your visit, you’ll receive your New Patient Forms by email. Filling these out online ahead of time makes check-in easy and helps us focus on you once you’re here.
Step 2: Comprehensive Exam
At your first visit (about 1.5–2 hours), we take the time to get to know you, not just your teeth. Your appointment includes:
- Full-mouth X-rays and digital photos
- Medical history review
- Comprehensive exam with one of our doctors
- Periodontal evaluation and oral cancer screening
- A gentle cleaning
Step 3: Personalized Care Plan
Instead of rushing into a treatment plan, you’ll receive a detailed “report of findings” that clearly explains your oral health and gives you the knowledge to make confident decisions about your care.
We’ll review everything together, and you’ll leave knowing exactly where your oral health stands and what steps (if any) to take moving forward.
