You can expect a warm welcome and dental professionals who listen to your concerns and are invested in your goals. You can count on transparency, friendliness, and professionalism from the first day and at every appointment after!

What to Bring to Your First Dental Visit

Your first visit makes you a patient of record, and to create your unique record and profile, be sure to bring the following: 

  • A Valid Identification
  • Current Dental Insurance Card
  • Any Copays or Fees
  • Current Films or Diagnoses (if applicable)
  • Completed Paperwork (if possible)

You can also arrive a few minutes early to complete your paperwork at the dental office. 

What to Expect at Your First Dental Appointment 

The nature of your first dental visit depends on the reason you’ve scheduled the appointment. For example, if you’re coming in for a dental implant or Invisalign® consultation in Lynnwood, WA, the appointment consists of a conversation with the dentist and an assessment for candidacy. 

If you’re coming in for a general dental checkup, you might expect: 

  • A thorough examination of the teeth, gums, and oral tissues
  • An oral cancer screening for early detection
  • A professional teeth cleaning (in many cases) 
  • A conversation with the dentist about exam findings

At this visit (and every appointment thereafter), we encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns with us.
