Everyday care, with a team that gets to know you.
01

A regular place to start

A routine visit is a chance to check in on your teeth, gums and any changes you have noticed. Tell us about sensitivity, an area that catches food or a concern you have been putting off. Your care plan starts with your actual needs.

02

An exam and a cleaning have different roles

The exam helps your dentist understand your oral health; a cleaning addresses plaque and hardened deposits. The type and timing of care depend on your gums and dental history. If additional treatment is needed, we will talk through it with you.

03

Returning after a long break

You do not need a perfect dental history to make an appointment. Let Cindy or Shay know you are ready to return. Your first visit is an opportunity to establish a starting point and discuss the next steps.

Answers that feel
a little more familiar.

It has been years. Can I still come in?

Yes. Tell us it has been a while when you request your visit. Our team will help you get started.

Will I receive a cleaning at the first visit?

That depends on the appointment and your needs. Cindy or Shay can explain what is planned when they confirm your visit.

How often should I come back?

Your dentist and hygienist can recommend a schedule based on your teeth, gums and dental history.

Your next step starts with a conversation.

Cindy or Shay will help you find a time.
