Preparing for your first appointment

We aim to make this a seamless experience from the moment you step into our practice.


Personalized consultation

Meet with our dental team to discuss you or your child’s oral health history, concerns, and goals.

Comprehensive examination

Your first visit includes a complimentary comprehensive exam, which includes photos and X-rays.

Treatment plan discussion

Our doctors will assess your bite and review your diagnosis and treatment plan. You will also map out a personalized payment plan that works for your family and discuss moving ahead at a pace you’re comfortable with.

Ensuring a successful first visit

Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and make the initial appointment as smooth as possible.

To make the most of you and your child’s first visit, ensure you bring all necessary documentation, such as insurance information and medical history forms. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork. Be open and honest about their dental history and past dental experiences if any; this will help us provide the best care suited to their needs. Additionally, asking questions about the proposed treatment plan or oral hygiene practices can clarify any uncertainties and help you become an active participant in their oral health journey.
