First Visit

Thank you for choosing our office for all your dental needs. We have created a comfortable environment where you can feel confident in the level of dental care you desire. When you arrive for your first visit, please be prepared to complete all insurance and health information forms that will allow us to begin your dental treatment. We will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office.

The Doctors prefer a whole mouth and holistic approach for long lasting treatment. Instead of focusing on only fixing one problem, our doctors take a ‘whole mouth’ approach which allows them to address underlying issues that may be triggering a host of other health issues. Since the health of the gums and teeth is linked to your overall health, it is important for us to learn about the medical history and lifestyle habits of our patients. This approach includes considerations for TMJ  and airway obstructions related to sleep apnea. This initial exam can last approximately one to two hours. Generally, X-rays will be taken, allowing your doctor to examine the jaw’s structure, teeth position, and teeth decay. Oral hygiene instructions will also be provided also with suggestions to help you care for your teeth. In most cases, we will also clean your teeth on this visit and provide an evaluation that will outline your existing dental problems and proposed treatment.

 

We believe that good dental care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about any symptoms present that may require further dental treatment, our diagnosis, alternative treatments that may exist, and our recommendations. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal-keeping your smile beautiful and you healthy!
