You’ve entered a no-judgement zone! We understand that measures both within and beyond your control affect dental health. We’re extremely honored that you’ve chosen us to help you care for your smile! Not only that, but we’re excited to start this journey of a healthy smile with you!

You’ve done the hard work by making the decision, now let us ease your burden and take over the hard work for rebuilding you a confident smile. 

First step: we’ll assess and address any oral health problems. Next: we’ll explain your treatment options. Finally: we’ll create a plan of action to address your unique needs.

You can expect a thorough exam to evaluate all your needs. You’ll be greeted by a smiling face taking you to our clinical area where we'll start by taking a complete medical and dental history and will ask you about any current concerns. Our team will take full-mouth x-rays to identify any conditions and to create a baseline for future dental visits. We will then evaluate the health of your teeth and existing dental work to ensure they are free of damage and assess the health of your gums. We'll also perform a head and neck exam, including an evaluation of your salivary glands and lymph nodes, and will conduct an oral cancer screening to rule out potential abnormalities.

You will likely receive care from our dental hygienist, who will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your tooth surfaces and along your gum line. We’ll also polish your teeth and floss between them to remove any remaining plaque and debris. We may recommend a fluoride treatment to lower your risk of future tooth decay.

At the conclusion of your appointment, we will discuss any current needs and preventive measures required to keep your smile in tip-top shape. We will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for long-term oral health. 

According to the American Dental Association, you should schedule dental visits at intervals determined by your dentist. In general, patients require twice-yearly exams and cleanings. However, some patients with gum disease or those at a higher risk of developing dental problems will require more frequent appointments. Our team will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the ideal frequency of visits to maintain your healthy smile.

Yes. It is extremely important to care for your oral health, especially during your pregnancy. Before scheduling your first appointment, we ask that you obtain a release from your doctor, clearing you to receive dental care.
