We strive to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We begin with color and decor, warm browns and burgundies. We serve beverages and provide blankets for those prone to chills; headphones, music and movies for those who prefer distraction. We make every effort to reserve plenty of time for your appointments so you do not feel rushed. Most of our clientele are adults, although we do see teenagers.
Exams
We respect each person as an individual with unique concerns and needs. No two people receive exactly the same care.We listen! Whether your biggest concern is pain, time, health, we take the time to listen and understand your needs, concerns and circumstances. We have two different types of New Patient appointments. One is a Basic Care appointment which includes an exam and cleaning. The other is a Comprehensive Exam with the doctor and clinical team. If you experience headaches, jaw pain, missing teeth, sleep apnea or you are interested in sedation options, we encourage you to begin with a Comprehensive Exam.
