What can I expect on my first visit?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you arrive at our office, you can expect to be greeted promptly by a member of our friendly team. Before you see the doctor, you will need to fill out some forms so we can get the important information we need to make sound decisions about your dental care.

If you don&rsquo;t have current x-rays, we will take a new set of detailed digital images so we can see the exact condition of your teeth. Next, our doctor will perform a thorough visual exam and use this information to suggest an appropriate treatment plan. We may or may not do a dental cleaning since we don&rsquo;t know what to anticipate until we understand the state of your oral health.

Throughout your first visit, we will ask you to share your concerns and goals for a healthy smile. Your treatment plan isn&rsquo;t complete until we get to know a little bit about you and understand all your needs. 

If you&rsquo;re visiting us for an orthodontic consult, Dr. Whang will identify your needs, answer your questions, and make appropriate recommendations.

We know that after a few visits, you&rsquo;ll see that we are a friendly team of professionals who have your best interest in mind. Please contact us today to make your first appointment at Arcadia Dentaldontics. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
