I put off the dentist for years. They made my first visit so calm I booked the next one before I left.

What to expect · about 45 minutes

The first visit, step by step.

Knowing what is coming makes it easier. Here is exactly how a first appointment goes, from the link we text you to the plan you leave with.

01

Book & fill forms from your couch

Pick a time online. We text a secure link to your forms, so you arrive ready, with no clipboard waiting.

02

Arrive to calm, not a queue

Come a few minutes early. Walk into a quiet, daylit room and settle in at your own pace.

03

A look together, in plain words

We take a digital scan, put it on the screen, and walk through what we see like adults, never at you.

04

Your price, up front

If anything needs doing, you get a clear estimate first. With insurance or without, that number holds.

05

Leave knowing where you stand

Most first visits include a gentle clean. You leave with a plan, prices written down, and a reminder set.

Nervous, or a first visit in years? Tell us when you book and we set aside extra time, so nobody feels rushed. There is no lecture, ever.
Paperless intake

Do the paperwork in your pyjamas.

Fill out your new patient forms online before you come in. It takes about five minutes and means you walk straight to the chair, instead of filling a clipboard in a waiting room.

Forms run through our HIPAA-compliant intake vendor, encrypted in transit. Your information never touches this website.

First visit questions

The things new patients ask first.

How much does a first visit cost?

A new patient exam, scan and clean is $189 if you pay directly, and often fully covered with insurance. We verify your exact benefits before you come in and show your price up front, so nothing is a surprise.

I have not been to a dentist in years. Is that a problem?

Not at all, and there is no lecture. We simply start where you are, get a clear picture, and build a calm plan to catch up. A lot of our patients come to us after a long gap.

What if I am anxious about the dentist?

Tell us when you book and we set aside extra time. The room is quiet by design, we explain everything before we do it, and we never push. Going at your pace is the whole point.

Do you take my insurance?

We work with all major providers and handle the paperwork for you. Run the coverage check and we will confirm your specific benefits before you book.

How soon can I be seen?

Often the same week, and we hold same-day slots for pain and emergencies. Book online and pick the window that fits your day.

What if I do not have insurance?

That is completely fine. Our direct prices are fair and posted, and larger treatments can be split into interest-free monthly payments. Many patients pay less than they expect.
