Family & General Dentistry
Comprehensive New Patient Exams
Your first visit is a thorough, unhurried evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health.
The first visit sets the tone for everything that follows, so we don’t rush it. Your comprehensive exam builds a complete picture of your oral health: teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, existing dental work, and the oral-systemic factors at the heart of our Complete Health philosophy.
What we look at
- Digital X-rays (only the ones you actually need)
- Oral cancer screening
- Periodontal (gum) measurements
- Tooth-by-tooth exam and bite evaluation
- Airway and grinding screening
- Your history, your concerns, your goals
You’ll get clear findings and options, never pressure. We’re an independent, doctor-owned practice, and our focus has always been quality, not quantity. Ready to start? See what to expect as a new patient.
Common questions
What happens at a new patient exam?
A complete evaluation: necessary X-rays, an oral cancer screening, gum measurements, an exam of every tooth and your bite, and a real conversation about your history, concerns, and goals. You’ll leave understanding exactly where your mouth stands.
How long does the first visit take?
Plan for a thorough, unhurried visit. Comprehensive exams take longer than a quick check because we’re building a complete picture of your health.
Will I get a cleaning at the first visit?
Often yes, when time and your gum health allow. If your gums need a different type of cleaning, we’ll explain why and schedule the right one.
Do you take my insurance?
We work with most PPO plans and are in-network with Delta Dental Premier. Call us and we’ll verify your coverage for free before your visit.
