For patients
Office visits
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. Your first visit is all about you: your comfort, your happiness, and your health.
We understand that you or your child 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 we provide the best possible care.
Your first visit, step by step
- 1
History review and X-rays
We will review your dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of your teeth and mouth.
- 2
Hygienist evaluation and cleaning
One of our hygienists will evaluate your teeth and gums to inspect for gingivitis or periodontal disease, and in most cases will clean and polish your teeth. Patients with more advanced gum disease may require multiple cleaning appointments.
- 3
Exam with Dr. Laine or Dr. Scott
The doctor will discuss your X-rays, check your teeth for cavities, perform an oral cancer screening, and evaluate your overall oral health.
- 4
Your treatment plan
We will help you create your individual treatment plan, with a range of care options and the cost explained before treatment begins.
What to bring
Bring your smile, but also remember to bring these to your first appointment:
- Your completed patient information form
- Your insurance card (see our financial information)
Regular checkups are an important part of 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. Here is what happens during regular exams and cleanings.
We understand you have a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing to visit our office, please remember your appointments can last between 45 and 90 minutes.
