Your Initial Visit

If you have need for emergency treatment, we will meet that need first

in order to relieve any immediate discomfort you may have.

Emergency treatment, in and of itself, almost always constitutes one visit.

Non-emergency first visits are the times when the patient and doctor meet to discuss any dental wants or needs. This initial visit will include a comprehensive examination of the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth. Also, any necessary radiographs will be taken at that time in order to develop a complete diagnosis. During the initial examination, we will develop a treatment plan to meet your needs. We will then discuss our findings and recommendations with you. If treatment alternatives exist, we will explain these along their advantages and disadvantages. Before any treatment begins, we will answer any and all of your questions and let you know the fees and estimated time needed to complete your treatment.

Emergency Care

Any patient who requires treatment for an emergency condition is encouraged to call the office immediately. We will do all we can to arrange for prompt attention to your problem. For your comfort, we accept and answer emergency calls 24 hours each day.

For Your Comfort

We believe that your visits should be as comfortable and as pleasant as possible. Please inform our staff if you have any special needs or if we can do anything to make your treatment experience more comfortable.

Technology

We strive to provide our patients with the most comprehensive state-of-the-art techniques as are feasible. For instance, we utilize an intra-oral camera which allows our clinical team to view our patients dental condition on a compute monitor. This system uses a toothbrush-sized camera to project images onto an overhead screen. One of the advantages to this system is that it allows the patient to view exactly what the doctor or hygienist is seeing. An added benefit is that we find an educated patient then tends to take greater ownership of their oral health.
