Who it’s for
- You haven't seen a dentist in years
- Something hurts and you don't know why
- You were treated badly somewhere else and want a fresh start
What happens
- Check in with your ID and your insurance card if you have one.
- We take a full set of x-rays and check every tooth, your gums and your bite, plus an oral cancer screening.
- We sit down with you: what needs attention now, what can wait, and what each part costs.
- Nothing gets scheduled until you've heard the cost. It takes about an hour.
Does it hurt?
The first visit is an exam, not treatment. If you're nervous, tell us when you book. It changes how we pace the visit.

Questions people ask
What should I bring?
Your ID and your insurance card if you have one. If you're not sure your plan covers you here, call first and we'll check.
How long does the first visit take?
About an hour.
Why do you need x-rays?
X-rays show what's happening inside and between teeth, where we can't see. Most problems start there.
Why do I have to update my health history?
Your medicines and health conditions change how we treat you safely, so we check them every year.
Is it okay if I get emotional?
Yes. Fear, stress and bad memories are common at the dentist. Tell us and we'll slow down.
