Your first visit, thought through

Walking into a new dental office shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. So here is exactly what will happen on your first visit.

Your First Visit

What to expect as a new patient

  1. 01

    First, a conversation

    You will start with our new patient coordinator. They will ask about your past dental experiences, what has been bothering you, and what you want from your care. Questions are welcome here.

  2. 02

    Then, the full picture

    Your hygienist takes it from there: a review of your medical history, an oral cancer screening, and a complimentary iTero digital scan with photos.

  3. 03

    A professional cleaning

    Your visit includes a thorough, gentle professional cleaning in a sunlit studio, with a comfort menu at your disposal.

  4. 04

    And a small send-off

    You will not leave empty-handed: every new patient heads home with a small care bag. Small thing, but small things are the point here.
