Your First Appointment

Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. We understand that you may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to your needs, and it is our goal to make you feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.

Your first visit is all about you: your comfort, your happiness, and your health

During your first visit, we will start by asking you what your oral health care goals are.  We will review your medical history forms, and take digital X-rays of your teeth and mouth.  One of our hygienists will clean and polish your teeth, and inspect your teeth and gums for early signs of tooth decay or gum disease.  We will take intraoral and extraoral photos of your teeth to help us communicate with you. Dr. Stebbins will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, soft tissue, muscles, joints, and aesthetics, and then discuss her observations and recommendations with you. We will help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.  We guarantee that you have never had as thorough an appointment as this!

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!

The American Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

We understand you have a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing to visit our office, please remember your first appointment can last between 60 and 120 minutes.
