After you book, we'll text or email you a secure link to your forms.

Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of the medicines you take.
- X-rays and a full exam
Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite, and screens for oral cancer. If your last dentist took x-rays recently, we can request them so you don't repeat them.

We explain what we saw and your options, most important first, with prices in writing. No pressure, and no treatment you didn't agree to.
You can also set up your patient portal account before your visit.
