Your First Appointment
Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
What to Expect
- For our adult patients age 18+, please allow 70-80 minutes with Dr. Snell or Dr. Heit. Patients under the age of 18 are scheduled for 40-50 minutes with one of our dental hygienists.
- The dentist will perform a complete oral examination, take full mouth x-rays if needed, and discuss any treatment you may need. The examination can identify conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and even oral cancer.
What to Bring
- If you have current dental x-rays, please bring them to your first appointment or have your previous dental office email them to us. If you don’t have them, new x-rays will be taken. Most dental benefits will cover a full mouth series every 3 years.
- With just a few simple forms, we’ll ask for relevant medical history, any medications you might be taking, your dental history, and any dental benefit coverage you may have. Access your forms here. https://forms.patientconnect365.com/13618
- A picture ID and your dental benefit card.
