We strive to make your first visit as comfortable and efficient as possible, respecting your time and providing a welcoming environment.

Comprehensive Dental Exam

  • Your first visit is primarily about understanding your dental health and discussing your oral hygiene habits, any dental issues you might be experiencing, and your health history. Here’s what to expect:
  • Teeth Cleaning: Most first visits include a professional teeth cleaning, which removes plaque and tartar that can’t be brushed away at home. This cleaning is gentle yet thorough, setting a clean slate for your dental health.
  • Dental X-rays: Depending on your dental history and the interval since your last dental X-rays, we may take a new set of X-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth and underlying bone structure. This helps us detect any hidden problems and create an accurate record for future comparisons.
  • Oral Examination: Dr. Scott Stanfield or Dr. Sam Lloyd will perform a comprehensive oral exam, assessing the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes screening for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental health issues.
  • Personal Consultation: After the examination, your dentist will discuss any findings with you. This is your opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you might have about your oral health. We believe that good dental care is collaborative and want you to feel informed and confident in your treatment options.

Discussing Your Dental Health Goals

Understanding your personal dental health goals is crucial during your first visit. Whether you’re seeking routine preventive care, have specific dental issues you want addressed, or are interested in cosmetic dentistry options, we tailor our approach to meet your needs and expectations.

Treatment Planning

If any dental issues are identified during your visit, we will discuss your treatment options. We provide a detailed explanation of recommended treatments, alternative options, and what each procedure involves. Our goal is to provide transparent information to help you make informed decisions about your dental care.

Financial Planning

We understand that financial considerations are important. Our office staff is here to provide information on the cost of proposed treatments, insurance coverage, and financing options, as well as information about our membership plan. We work hard to make dental care accessible and affordable for all of our patients.

Preventive Care Education

Your first visit also includes education on maintaining optimal dental health at home. We provide tips on effective brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of regular dental check-ups, and how to prevent dental disease. Preventive care is the foundation of good dental health, and we are your partner in keeping your smile healthy.

Scheduling Your Next Appointment

Before you leave, we will schedule your next appointment, whether for a follow-up treatment, routine check-up, or any other dental services you might need. We make sure to find a time that works well with your schedule, ensuring that your dental care is continuous and uninterrupted.
