We’ll also gather your insurance information to help you understand your coverage ahead of time, ensuring there are no surprises.

What To Expect On The Day
When you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted with a warm, friendly smile. We strive to make your check-in process as easy as possible.
- Easy Paperwork: You’re welcome to fill out your new patient forms online at your convenience. Not tech-savvy? No worries at all! We’re happy to provide a paper copy and help you with it here in the office.
- A Focus on Your Safety: We’ll carefully review your health history and list of medications with you. Understanding your overall health is crucial for us to provide dental care that is perfectly safe and tailored for you.
Your Comprehensive First Visit Exam
Once you’re settled in the chair, your comfort and understanding are our top priorities.
- We’ll Talk First: Before we begin any clinical work, Dr. Carmichael or one of our wonderful hygienists, Cody or Christy Anna, will sit down with you to review your health history and discuss the concerns you shared with us on the phone.
- A Clear Picture of Your Health: We’ll take a series of digital x-rays to get a complete view of your oral health. Dr. Carmichael will then perform a thorough, comprehensive exam.
- A Plan, Explained Clearly: Dr. Carmichael will share his findings with you, explaining any areas of concern and walking you through the steps of any recommended treatment. We want you to feel fully informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your smile.
The Right Cleaning for Your Unique Smile
After your exam, our hygienist will talk with you about the type of cleaning that’s right for you. Every smile is different, and we personalize our care to match your specific needs.
Whether it’s a routine healthy mouth cleaning, a “catch-up” cleaning to get you back on track, or a deep cleaning to address gum disease, we’ll make sure your treatment is gentle, comfortable, and effective.
