First Visit

Every smile starts with an initial consultation. During your first visit, we’ll:

  • Review your dental and medical history.
  • Provide a comprehensive oral exam by taking photos, digital impressions of your teeth, and an X-ray to provide initial assessment.
  • Conduct a thorough examination with the doctor.
  • Discuss treatment options and goals that best fits your or your child’s needs and expectation.
  • Review insurance options, financial information, and payment plans.

Scheduling Appointments

Once your treatment begins, visiting your doctor with regularly scheduled appointments is an important part of your treatment process. We will work with you to make sure that your appointments are as convenient as possible. We will send reminders of your appointment. If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know at your earliest convenience and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

New Patient form

To make your visit efficient, we offer secured online patient forms. For new patients, we kindly ask that you complete our New Patient Health History form one day before your first appointment. This allows us to prepare for your visit and provide the best personalized care.
