Book your first visitAbout 75 thoughtful minutes
Here’s exactly what to expect.
Every patient is different, but the shape of a first visit should never be a mystery.
A real conversation
We talk through your concerns, health history, past dental experiences, and what you want from your care.
About 10 minutesA comprehensive exam
Your dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues, and existing dental work, with digital imaging as needed.
About 35 minutesA plan you understand
We show you what we see, compare reasonable options, discuss costs, and answer every question we can.
About 30 minutesA little preparation
What to bring
Most importantly, bring your questions. We’ll take care of the rest.
- Your photo ID and insurance cardIf you plan to use dental benefits.
- Your current medication listIncluding relevant medical conditions and allergies.
- Recent dental records, if availablePrevious X-rays can sometimes reduce duplicate imaging.
Insurance & payment
Know what to expect financially, too.
We make the money conversation refreshingly straightforward. You receive a written estimate before elective treatment, and we’re happy to explain every line.
PPO insurance
We work with many PPO plans and can request an estimate of benefits. Your plan determines actual payment; an estimate is not a guarantee of coverage.
Don’t see your plan? Call us. Network participation and benefits can change, so we verify before your visit.
Flexible payment
We accept major credit cards, HSA and FSA cards, and third-party financing for approved applicants. Larger treatment plans can sometimes be phased safely over time.
- Itemized estimates before treatment
- Financing terms reviewed before you apply
- No surprise add-ons during your visit

Still wondering?
New-patient questions, answered.
If there’s anything else that would make your first visit easier, call and let us know.
01How long is a new-patient visit?
Plan for about 75 minutes. That gives us time for a real conversation, a comprehensive exam, any clinically necessary imaging, and a review of your options without rushing.
02Will I get a cleaning at my first visit?
Sometimes, but not automatically. We first assess your gum health and current needs. If a routine cleaning is appropriate and time allows, we can often provide it; other patients need a different type of hygiene care scheduled separately.
03Can I just talk to a dentist without treatment?
Yes. You can use your first visit to get comfortable, understand your current health, and discuss possibilities. An exam does not commit you to treatment.
04What if I have records or X-rays from another office?
Bring them or ask your previous office to send them securely before your visit. Recent, diagnostic images may help us avoid unnecessary duplicates, but we will only take new images when clinically needed.
No pressure. Just possibility.
