Office Visits

We look forward to your upcoming office visit and to your becoming part of our dental family. During your appointment, our friendly staff will be available to answer questions, explain treatment, outline payment options, and help you feel at ease.

Established Patients

In general, we recommend a dental hygiene visit every six months. This allows our team to give you a professional cleaning and overall examination of your dental health. We are happy to make appointments in advance so you remain on schedule. We can also send reminder cards if requested. We schedule cleaning exams Monday through Thursday, and you can plan to be here about 45-50 minutes.

When problems arise outside of your regular cleaning schedule, we will work to get you an appointment as quickly as your schedule allows. In some cases that may be the same or next day for our established patients. We also have an emergency line available 24 hours/day with doctors on call for our patients of record.

New Patients

Our office is currently accepting new patients. During your first appointment, we’ll focus on getting to know you in order to understand your concerns and goals.

We request that, if possible, you have any records from your previous dentist forwarded to our office prior to your appointment. Our staff are happy to help you make that happen.

Please assist us by bringing the following information to your appointment:

Completed dental forms available on our New Patient Forms page, if you have had the chance to download and complete them. If not, please arrive about 15 minutes early to fill them out.
Your dental insurance information, if applicable
A complete list of your current medications – both prescription and over-the-counter

What to expect at your first appointment:

We take a comprehensive set of digital x-rays or evaluate those you have provided
We assess areas of decay and gum disease
We conduct an oral cancer screening
We discuss your dental health goals and expectations
We customize a preventive care plan
We provide and explain a treatment plan for any work that may need to be done
If possible, we will also perform a thorough professional cleaning

Cancellations & Rescheduling

We know emergencies, sickness and schedule changes occur. Please understand that when you make an appointment to visit our office, we have set aside time and staff for you. Therefore, we request a minimum 24-hour notice to cancel or change an appointment. A cancellation fee may be assessed for last minute cancellations.

In the event of inclement weather, our office will contact you if we are closing. No cancellation fees will be assessed. Please note, we will make every effort to keep your appointment, so do not assume our office is closed. If you have any questions, please call ahead.
