What to Expect on Your First Visit
Going to the dentist can be an overwhelming experience, especially when it is your first visit to a new dentist. At Smile GPS we want to help you put those concerns and anxieties to rest. We want to make your first experience, and every experience, with Smile GPS as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
Our goal is to provide every patient with:
- A clean, inviting environment
- A warm, friendly greeting when you call or come in
- Doctors and staff who treat you with respect
- Quality, affordable family dental care
- Clear explanations of every aspect of your visit
- Our sincere appreciation for choosing and recommending this office
What to Expect The dentist will perform a complete oral examination and discuss any treatment you may need. The examination can identify conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and even oral cancer.
Teeth cleaning may be performed during your first visit, or might be scheduled for a follow-up visit depending on the condition of your teeth and gums.
Your first appointment will take between 1 and 1 ½ hours. Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.
What to Bring To make your visit as pleasant and brief as possible, there are a few things you should bring with you.
If you've had dental x-rays in the last six months, please bring them to your first appointment. If you don't have them, plan on biting down on that little cardboard thingy. New x-rays will be taken.
If you have purchased a voucher or coupon for your first appointment please bring it with you.
With just a few simple forms, we'll ask for relevant medical history, any medications you might be taking, your dental history, and any dental insurance coverage you may have.
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
