What to Expect at Your First Dental Visit
What to Expect During Your Initial Appointment
We will reserve approximately 90 minutes for your initial visit. During this time, we will review your health history and allow you time to share your dental concerns—whether they relate to cosmetic dental services, general care, or long-term goals for your smile. We will also examine your teeth, gums, jaw alignment, and soft tissues, and take x-rays to determine if you have any areas of decay or infection. For patients with anxiety about dental procedures, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a calm, stress-free experience. After your examination, unless there is active periodontal disease requiring additional care, one of our talented hygienists will perform a routine dental cleaning during the same visit.If you’re curious about what to expect visually, take a virtual tour of our dental office to see our welcoming and comfortable environment before you arrive.
I was very impressed by Dr. Miller and his staff at Valley Dental Works. I had my regular cleaning appointment with Dawn who was very gentle and friendly. I will definitely be going to her again! They also found that I had a cracked filling from a previous dental office and Dr. Miller was able to fit me in later that same week with a 7am appointment so I didn’t have to miss work. Great hours, great location and the entire staff was very pleasant. I would recommend to everyone!
