What to Expect

We promise to make your first experience in our office unique, beginning with a warm and friendly greeting from our professional staff! During your first visit, you can expect:

• A patient care coordinator will greet you and gather any documentation such as insurance information or new patient forms. Your dental and medical history will be reviewed and we will gladly answer any questions you may have.
  
  
• Next you’ll meet with our dental assistant, who generally takes a full mouth set of x-rays (unless we have received a recent set from you or your previous dentist).
  
  
• Then you will see one of our dentists who will do a comprehensive exam and take an intra-oral camera tour of your mouth to view the condition of your gums and teeth.

Depending on the individual needs of the patient, the dentist may also perform:

• oral cancer screening
• periodontal and hard tissue examination

After assimilating the results of this examination, the dentist will meet and discuss with you the the findings, including diagnoses and suggestions for your individualized treatment. This is considered your treatment plan.

Once your treatment plan is established, you will meet with our Treatment Coordinator to discuss and schedule your procedures.

For your comfort, we offer:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
• Warm hot towels to freshen after procedures
• CD players for relaxation
• DVD movies during long procedures
• Refreshments including coffee, water, juices and light snacks
• Ultra-Leather Dental Chairs
• Children's play area
  • We offer a childrens play area separate but adjacent to our waiting area. This area has toys, easel for drawing, books for reading, and a television with children's videos. We strive to provide quality entertainment for children while waiting.
