We're So Glad You're Here
Starting with a new dentist can feel like a big step. We've made it as easy and welcoming as possible — here's everything you need to know before your first visit.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
A Warm Welcome
From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by our friendly team. We take time to get to know you — not just your teeth.
Comprehensive Health Review
We review your full health history, current medications, and any concerns you have. Your overall health is as important to us as your oral health.
Thorough Examination
We perform a complete oral exam including digital X-rays (low-radiation), gum health assessment, and a review of any existing dental work.
Honest Conversation
We walk you through our findings in plain language, explain all your options, and build a care plan together — no pressure, no surprises.
Insurance & Payment
We are a fee-for-service practice, which means we are not in-network with insurance providers. This allows us to provide the highest quality, most biocompatible care without restrictions from insurance companies. We accept all major credit cards, cash, and CareCredit financing. We will provide you with a detailed receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything before my first appointment?
Fill out your new patient forms prior to your appointment. Bring a list of any current medications and supplements, your insurance card (if applicable), and any recent dental X-rays if you have them. We'll take care of the rest.
How long will my first appointment take?
New patient appointments are typically 60–90 minutes. We take the time to be thorough — we'd rather spend more time getting to know you than rush through an exam.
Are your X-rays safe?
We use digital X-rays, which emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We also use lead aprons and thyroid collars for added protection, and we only take X-rays when clinically necessary.
Do you see children?
Yes! We welcome patients of all ages. We believe in starting children on a holistic dental path early — with gentle, mercury-free care and education about nutrition and oral hygiene.
What if I have dental anxiety?
You're not alone — many of our patients come to us after difficult experiences elsewhere. We work at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and offer a calm, unhurried environment designed to help you feel at ease.
