When you arrive for your first visit, please be prepared to complete all insurance and health information forms.<\/p>\n<p>Also, please assist us by providing the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any panoramic X-ray taken within the past six months.<\/li>\n<li>If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card. This will enable us to give you an estimate of your costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Comprehensive Exam<\/h2>\n<p>Your initial exam will last approximately one hour. Your doctor will perform a thorough exam. In most cases, we will also clean your teeth. Generally, X-rays will be taken, allowing your doctor to examine your mouth for teeth decay, periodontal problems, jaw problems and any signs of oral cancer. These diagnostic records will help your doctor provide an evaluation outlining any existing dental problems and proposed treatment. We encourage you to ask questions. We&#8217;ll be glad to discuss any concerns you may have.<\/p>\n<h2>Open Communication<\/h2>\n<p>We believe that good dental care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about our diagnosis and recommendations, any alternative treatments, and any symptoms present that may require treatment from a specialist. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal \u2013 keeping your smile beautiful and your teeth, gums and jaw joints healthy!<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect During a Dental Checkup<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/beUETJCtHZ0?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"840\" height=\"472\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you for choosing our office for all your dental needs.
