Step by step

Your first visit, start to finish.

Big decisions deserve a clear path, so nothing comes as a surprise.

1

Before your visit

We confirm your appointment and let you know anything to bring. If a dentist referred you, we coordinate records so you don't have to.

2

Arriving

You're welcomed at the front desk and shown back when it's time. We set aside enough time that you're never rushed.

3

The consultation

We listen first. Then we look at the whole mouth, not just the tooth that brought you in, and take any images we need to understand it fully.

4

Your plan

We explain what we see in plain language, walk through your options, and answer every question before anything is decided.

5

Next steps

You leave with a clear understanding of your options, timing, and cost. There is no pressure to decide on the spot.

Come prepared

What to bring.

  • A photo ID, and your insurance information if you have coverage
  • Any referral or records from your dentist, if applicable
  • A list of the medications you take
  • Any questions you want answered, no question is too small

If you've put off a decision about a failing or missing tooth, you're not alone. Wherever you're starting from, there's no judgment here, only a clear path forward.
