The First Appointment
If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, we offer a cosmetic consultation
to all new patients. During the consultation we will discuss your cosmetic
options for creating the smile you've always dreamed. Otherwise for general
dental patients, at your first visit, all areas of your mouth will be
thoroughly examined. This process will include a detailed examination
of the teeth, soft tissue, supporting structure alignment, bite and more.
A complete set of x-rays will be taken and models of your teeth will be
made if necessary. All the information that we obtain will be carefully
evaluated so that we may accurately assess your dental needs.
Preventive
Oral Hygiene Appointment
After your examination, you will be ready for the preventive oral hygiene
visit. At this time, you will have access to the latest theories and techniques
for controlling dental disease. Specific approaches will be recommended
for your individual needs. Your teeth will also be cleaned by our licensed
dental hygienist, a professional dedicated to you receiving maximum longevity
from your natural dentition. We consider this session to be one of the
most valuable services we offer to our patients.

and required treatment. Immediate needs as well as long term objectives

Word about Dental Insurance

agreement between you and your insurance company, not between your insurance
company and our office. We make no guarantee of any estimated coverage,
but we'll do our best to see that you receive your maximum benefits. Please

your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated.
