What to Expect – Step-by-step
1. Before the Appointment
First, before you visit for your appointment, we will need to collect some information on your health history. You can come in early to fill out paperwork or you can fill it out online before the day of.
2. Your First Exam
Your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your oral health. This will include X-rays to identify cavities or other issues.
3. Cleaning
A dental hygienist will give your teeth a cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildups that cannot be removed via regular brushing. This improves the appearance of your teeth and prevents the progression of dental problems.
4. Treatment Planning
This is where we will sit down and discuss your daily oral hygiene routine with you and recommend any improvements. Additionally, if any issues are detected, this is where we will discuss a treatment plan.
5. Flexible Payment Options
We make quality dental care more affordable with options that fit your budget. We accept most insurance plans, can help you navigate the CDCP if you're eligible, and also offer our Dental Membership Plan starting at just $35/month for patients without insurance.
