New patients

Welcome. Let's make this easy.

Whether it’s been six months or six years, your first visit here is relaxed, thorough and completely judgment‑free. Here’s exactly what to expect.

New patient exam, X‑rays & clean

Everything we need to get to know your smile — reg. $290.

Your first visit

What actually happens

No surprises, no rush. Most first visits take about an hour, start to finish.

A warm welcome

You'll be greeted by name, offered a drink, and given a moment to settle in. Tell us at the desk if you're feeling anxious — it changes how we pace everything.

A proper chat

Before anything goes near your mouth, we sit down and talk — your history, any worries, what you'd like to change. You're in the driver's seat the whole time.

Gentle exam & digital scans

A thorough but easy check of your teeth, gums and bite, with modern digital X‑rays — no goopy moulds, no discomfort.

Your clean

A comfortable professional clean and polish with our hygienist — the part patients say feels the best.

A clear plan

We walk you through what we found in plain English, split into what's urgent versus optional, with upfront pricing. Nothing gets done without your say‑so.

What to bring

What to bring

Dental fear is more common than you think, and it’s never a reason to feel embarrassed. Getting you comfortable is genuinely our favourite part of the job.

Insurance & payment

The money bit, upfront.

We take most major insurance and file the claim for you, so there’s nothing to chase. No cover? Our membership plan and 0% financing keep things affordable and predictable.

Delta Dental Cigna MetLife Aetna Guardian CareCredit

No insurance? No problem.
