Your First Visit

What to Expect

We recognize that seeing a new dentist may come with a bit of anxiety for some people. That’s why we prioritize your comfort at every turn, and look forward to creating strong relationships with our patients that go beyond the dental transaction. When you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team. Next, you’ll head back to an exam room with one of our registered dental hygienists, who will take necessary x-rays and perform a dental cleaning. When the doctor comes in, he or she will give you a thorough exam and address your concerns in an informative manner, helping you understand the best path forward for a healthy, beautiful smile.

Modern Comforts & Convenient Tools

Pairing the comforts of home with state of the art technology, we’re able to deliver a patient experience that’s more comfortable and convenient than the rest. Cozy up to our coffee station while you wait, or enjoy warm towels during your services for a spa-like feeling. During your visits we can use the latest dental technology for everything from same-day crown creation to mess-free impressions.
