Welcome — here's what to expect
Your first visit is about getting to know you: your history, your concerns, and what you want for your smile. You'll leave with a clear plan and no surprises.
Your first visit, step by step
- 01
Before you arrive
Fill out your new-patient forms online (link coming soon) or arrive 15 minutes early and we'll help you with them. Bring your ID, insurance card, and a list of any medications.
- 02
Your comprehensive exam
Digital X-rays if needed, a 3D scan of your teeth, an oral cancer screening, and a gum health check — all shown to you on the screen beside your chair.
- 03
A conversation, not a lecture
Dr. Zohdi walks through what he sees and what it means. If treatment is needed, you'll get options, timelines, and costs in writing.
- 04
Cleaning, when it fits
Many new patients have their cleaning the same day. If your gums need a deeper cleaning, we'll schedule it so it's done right.
Insurance & Payment
We'll always tell you what something costs before we do it.
Dental Insurance
We file claims for most PPO plans and will check your benefits before your visit. [List accepted plans here.]
Flexible Payment Plans
Third-party financing options with low or no-interest terms for larger treatment, so you can start when you're ready.
No Insurance? No Problem.
Ask about our in-house membership plan: cleanings, exams and X-rays for one simple annual fee, plus savings on treatment. [Details coming soon.]
Common Questions
How long will my first visit take?
Plan on about 90 minutes. That gives us time for a thorough exam, your cleaning if it fits, and an unhurried conversation about what we found.
I haven't been to a dentist in years. Will I be judged?
Never. Many of our favorite patients walked in nervous after a long gap. We'll meet you where you are and go at your pace.
Do you see children?
Yes — we care for the whole family and are happy to book family members back to back.
What if I'm anxious about dental visits?
Tell us. We go at your pace, explain each step before it happens, agree on a pause signal, and our comfort menu — blankets, headphones, aromatherapy — is included at no charge. Our dental anxiety guide explains how to plan a calmer visit.
