What happens at my first visit to the practice?

We take extra time with all our new patients to talk to you about your needs and concerns so we can come up with the best plan for your teeth to keep you smiling for longer and enjoying the foods you love. You will have a full oral health examination and deal with any immediate concerns you have. We will also spend some time talking about preventative strategies for the future. Just call in and see us!
