What to expect at your first visit.

A first visit here is a conversation, not a commitment. Here is exactly what happens, from the moment you arrive to the plan you leave with.

Orem, Utah

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 clearly, 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 card if you have coverage (see insurance and payment)

  • A list of the medications you take

...best of all he tells you what he is doing in your mouth through the whole process. He also checks on you during the procedure to make sure you're comfortable and to see if you need to be numb more.
