First, we listen
We ask about your health, medicines, past dental care, and concerns. Tell us about pain, fear, or a change in your mouth. Bring your questions with you.
Next, we check your mouth
We look at your teeth, gums, and bite. We may take X-rays if needed. Ask whether a cleaning is planned; the right type depends on your gum health.
Then, we explain your choices
We show you what we find and discuss what care may help. Ask about benefits, risks, other choices, and what can wait. You can take time to understand the plan.
Before treatment, ask for an estimate and find out what your dental plan may cover. Call ahead if you need forms, help with access, or extra time.
Common questions
How long will the visit take?
The time depends on why you are coming in. Ask when you book so you can plan your day.
What if I only want advice about one tooth?
Tell us when you call. We can help you arrange the right type of visit.
