Paperwork before you arrive
After you book, we text or email a link to secure new patient forms. Completing them ahead of time shortens your check-in and gives the doctor time to review your health history.

Request a virtual consultNew patient FAQs
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, a list of your medications and any recent x-rays from another office. If you completed your forms online, there is nothing else to fill out when you arrive.
How long is a first appointment?
Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes. That gives us time for a full gum evaluation, digital x-rays, an oral cancer screening, a conversation about your goals and a written treatment plan before you leave.
Can I get a virtual consultation first?
Yes. Send us a few smile photos and a note about your goals, and our team will reply with a personalized recommendation and preview. It is a simple way to explore cosmetic or restorative options before coming in.
I'm nervous about the dentist. What can you do?
Tell us when you book. We can schedule extra time, explain each step before we do it and offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation for longer procedures. Many anxious patients tell us their first visit was easier than expected.
