Your First Visit
A Friendly Welcome to New Patients
The team at The Dental Office welcomes you into our dental family! We know what a big decision choosing a new dentist is, and we want you to know that we'll make the transition as easy as possible.
What To Expect On Your First Visit
From the moment you enter our dental office, we want you to feel at ease. Read these frequently asked questions to learn what to expect.
What will happen during my first visit?
On your first visit to our office, please arrive about 10 minutes early so that you have enough time to fill out our New Patient and Dental Health History forms. Your wait for your appointment will begin in our relaxing reception area, where you'll find lots of up to date reading materials and soft, roomy chairs.
Your first appointment will be approximately 60 minutes in duration. At the beginning of your appointment, your dentist will talk to you about your oral health needs in reference to your Health History form. Based on this conversation and a thorough dental exam, your dentist will develop a long-term dental treatment plan for you.
Your comprehensive examination will include an oral cancer screening, a full mouth series of x-rays, photos, and a thorough exam of your gums, teeth, bite and jaw.
Throughout your appointment, your dentist or hygienist will take the time to answer your questions about your dental health and treatment options.
