What Can I Expect During My First Dental Visit?

Your first visit will vary depending upon your health and whether you visit us for the first time as an emergency patient, where we zero in on one condition or a regular appointment. In a regular first appointment, we do a more comprehensive examination to understand your goals, health, how they are connected, and how to best help you.

Our doctors will sit down with you to learn more about you. These details usually help significantly in having solutions that match your needs and goals. As our patient, we give you the time and attention to learn your likes, dislikes, and concerns you might have about your current health. We will also do an examination that will include the surfaces of each tooth, the gums, the bite, the jaw, your existing restorations, and will also include looking for potential signs of more severe conditions that are better treated if caught early, including cancer. Many might be surprised that dentists find and catch many forms of cancer that would otherwise go undetected until later when it would be much harder to treat then.
