Welcome to Your New Dental Home

We want your experience at our office to be 100% positive from the moment you arrive. To help us provide you with the highest level of care, we’ve outlined exactly what you can expect during your initial consultation and what you’ll need to get started.

The Evaluation Protocol (Expectations)

Your First Visit:

The Baseline Evaluation

Your first visit is an opportunity for us to comprehensively assess your dental health and listen to your unique needs. Rather than rushing into treatments, this dedicated time is used solely for evaluation and planning. Your initial appointment will typically include:

  • A review of your medical and dental history
  • A complete clinical oral evaluation
  • Necessary digital X-rays to establish a health baseline
  • A periodontal (gum health) examination
  • An examination of your teeth and bite alignment

Important Note: A routine dental cleaning is typically not performed during this initial evaluation. Following this visit, we will review your personalized treatment options, outline all associated costs, and schedule your cleanings and restorative care appropriately.

Our Attendance Policy

Our office respects your time, and we make every effort to see you on schedule. In return, we require that you arrive on time and inform us at least 48 hours in advance if you need to reschedule. Because we reserve this time exclusively for you, cancelling without sufficient notice may result in a nominal fee. Excessive missed appointments can result in dismissal from the practice.
