NEW PATIENTS
Your First Visit
Starts With Listening.
Whether it has been six months or several years since your last dental visit, you’re welcome here. We’ll take the time to understand your concerns, complete a thorough evaluation, and help you create a clear, comfortable path forward.
A COMFORTABLE START
No Pressure.
No Judgment.
You do not need to know exactly what treatment you need before you come in. Your first appointment is about understanding where you are now, what matters to you, and what options make sense.
Dr. Harry and her team are known for a calm, compassionate approach. Questions are encouraged, concerns are taken seriously, and nothing is rushed.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your First Visit,
Step by Step.
Tell Us What’s Going On
We’ll start by listening to your concerns, dental history, and goals. Whether something hurts, you’re unhappy with your smile, or you simply want to get back on track, this is your chance to tell us what matters.
Complete Exam & X-rays
Dr. Harry will perform a comprehensive oral examination and review appropriate diagnostic X-rays to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health.
We Explain What We See
You’ll get a clear explanation of any findings, including what needs attention now, what may be monitored, and what options are available.
Together, We Make a Plan
If treatment is recommended, we’ll help you understand your priorities and create a plan that feels manageable, realistic, and right for you.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
A Clear Starting Point.
Your new patient visit includes a comprehensive examination and appropriate diagnostic X-rays so Dr. Harry can fully evaluate your oral health before recommending treatment.
NEW PATIENT EXAM & X-RAYS — SELF-PAY
The $225 fee applies to patients paying without dental insurance.
If you have dental insurance, your cost may be different depending
on your individual plan and benefits.
With hundreds of dental plans available, coverage can vary considerably.
Our team is happy to check your benefits and help estimate your expected
out-of-pocket cost. When appropriate, we can also submit a pre-treatment
estimate to your insurance company before treatment is completed.
Insurance estimates are provided as a courtesy and are not a guarantee
of payment or coverage by your insurance company.
