We take the time to listen, examine, and explain everything clearly, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident from day one.
We understand that visiting a new dentist can feel daunting, so we make your comfort our priority. Our team is friendly, gentle, and patient-focused. You’ll never feel rushed, judged, or left in the dark.
Whether you’re new to the area, returning to dental care after a break, or just looking for a practice that truly cares, we’re here for you.
A new patient checkup typically involves a full dental examination, medical history review, X-rays if required, and a discussion about your oral health needs.
On average, a new patient checkup lasts between 30–60 minutes, depending on whether X-rays or additional assessments are needed.
Yes, please bring a list of any medications you are taking and any relevant medical information. If you have dental records or recent X-rays, bring those too.
In most cases, a cleaning can be arranged during your first visit if time allows. Otherwise, it will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing.
The fee for a New Patient Check-Up is listed on our Fees page, and we’ll always confirm any costs before your visit — no surprises.
