What You Can Anticipate During Your Initial Visit

During your initial visit, our main focus is on you – ensuring your comfort, happiness, and overall health.

During your first visit, we will:

  • Review your dental and medical history forms
  • Take radiographs of your teeth
  • Perform a comprehensive exam
  • Check your teeth and gums for any signs of decay and gingivitis or periodontitis.
Once your exam is complete, the dentist will go over your radiographs and findings. They will then engage in a discussion about various treatment options and collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that caters to your specific requirements.

New Patient Forms
