First Visit

During your first visit, you can expect a comprehensive and welcoming experience. Our team will begin by reviewing your medical history and discussing your concerns and goals. If your dentist or specialist has provided us with x-rays, we will review them with you during your appointment. Should we determine that additional x-rays are needed, they can be conveniently taken here at our office.
