Arriving at Our Office
Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete our annual requirements of medical and dental history updates that must be completed by every patient.
Here is a checklist of what to supply us with at your first visit:
- Current medications (and dosages),
- Drivers license
- Insurance card and proof of current coverage
- Dental records you have from previous dentists
We reserve the right to take our own diagnostics before presenting recommendations of treatment that will benefit our patients.
Sitting Down with Our Team
After being escorted into a treatment room, the lead assistant of the doctor you will see will complete all diagnostics our doctors require. A series of digital images or X-rays are taken, intra and extra oral photos, study model, gum health and existing restoration charting and, in smile design cases, imaging of your smile now and what it could look like to provide a more detailed look at your mouth. What the dentist is looking for depends on your dental history, age, stage of life and any risk factors. For example, if you wear dentures, the dentist wants to check to ensure you have adequate bone to support the dentures. Or, the dentist might want to check for any impacted wisdom teeth that haven’t erupted into the mouth yet.
Our doctors conduct a mandatory comprehensive oral evaluation of the hard and soft tissue in your mouth to recommend the best solution for your oral health needs and/or your smile restoration.
Based on our hygienists’ and doctors’ assessment of your tissue health, teeth may be cleaned during this appointment or a cleaning scheduled for a subsequent visit.
Based on the results of the oral exam, digital images and X-rays, together you and the dentist will decide on a plan of treatment. You might not have any dental problems — you may simply want to improve the appearance of your smile.
Meeting Our General Manager
After your case synopsis has been determined, our treatment coordinators will meet with you to discuss your financial investment options, insurance benefits (if any) and our third party financing options.
You will receive a copy of your dental treatment plan to take home with you; this document will include a pricing quote for any recommended or optional treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams every six months for optimal oral health. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your specific needs.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with a wide variety of dental insurance providers. Please contact our office or visit our Insurance & Payment page for a full list of accepted plans.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a discussion about your dental health goals. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan for you.
How often should I brush my teeth, and what is the proper technique?
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed, using a soft-bristle toothbrush and an ADA-approved toothpaste. For the best results:
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums.
- Use gentle, circular motions to brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.
- Don’t forget to brush the inside of your front teeth and your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended as they can efficiently remove plaque by simply guiding the brush while it works on multiple teeth at a time.
How often should I floss, and what is the correct way to do it?
You should floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth and under the gumline, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Follow these steps for effective flossing:
- Use about 12-16 inches of dental floss, wrapping it around your middle fingers, with 2 inches of floss between them.
- Gently insert the floss between your teeth using a sawing motion.
- Curve the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth, sliding it up and down to clean the side of each tooth and below the gumline.
If you find regular floss difficult to use, floss holders are a helpful alternative.
How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?
It is generally recommended to schedule dental cleanings and exams every six months. Regular visits help prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup. They also allow your dentist to catch potential problems early. However, depending on your oral health, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits. Always follow your dentist’s advice based on your individual needs.
