The first visit to our office is designed to get you better acquainted with all we have to offer as your dental provider. During this initial visit you will meet with our doctor, one of our three hygienists, and members of our dedicated support team. Routinely, we reserve time to perform the necessary x-rays, which is often a full series of digital x-rays, along with oral images of the entire mouth, especially any suspicious areas. We offer a visual oral cancer screening to all patients, at no additional charge, although we urge each patient to take advantage of the latest technology for oral cancer detection, which is called VELScope VX. The VELScope VX screening cost is as low as $35, which is commonly not a covered benefit via dental insurance, unless you are over the age of 40. 

Typically, we are able to present all treatment recommendations, including hygiene care, at this initial visit. The frequency in which you would return annually, to see your hygienist, is contingent upon your periodontal condition. The periodontal screening and its findings, will be fully explained during this visit. We encourage questions to further educate our patients and always do our best to deliver quality care and simplicity in such a complicated field.

Please take a moment, prior to your reservation, to tell us a bit about yourself and complete your health history. For this process, we ask that you click the link below and complete all four forms. This process streamlines and reduces your wait time. Please allow a minimum of 90 minutes for your initial visit with us. 

So we may supply you with the most accurate information, we request that each patient supply their medical and dental insurance cards and any necessary updates, as soon as possible, to avoid an out of pocket expense. We strive to complete insurance verification, at no additional charge. This task is handled one week prior to a reserved visit. If benefits are unable to be verified prior to patient arrival, anticipated costs would be out-of-pocket. To avoid this out-of-pocket expense, please supply all new or changed dental benefit information as soon it becomes available.
