What to Expect at Your First Visit to Smiles One

We know that walking into a new dental office can feel a little intimidating, especially if it’s been a while since your last appointment. At Smiles One Family Dentistry, our goal is to make your first visit simple, clear, and comfortable.

Whether you’re switching dentists, moving to the area, or just ready for a fresh start, here’s what you can expect from the moment you walk in.

A warm welcome and easy check-in
When you arrive, our front desk team will greet you with a smile and help you through any quick paperwork. You can also complete forms online ahead of time if you prefer. We’ll gather your insurance information and make sure all your questions are answered before you head back.

A conversation, not a lecture
Before we look at your teeth, we’ll take a moment to talk. We want to know your concerns, your goals, and any past dental experiences that might shape your care. If you have anxiety or sensitivities, just let us know. We’re here to listen and support you.

A thorough exam and digital x-rays
We’ll take low-radiation digital x-rays to get a full picture of your oral health. Then one of our doctors will examine your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, looking for any signs of decay, damage, or other concerns. If anything needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and answer any questions.

A gentle cleaning if time allows
If your first visit is a new patient appointment and your oral health is stable, you may also receive a professional cleaning at the same time. Our hygienists are known for being gentle and thorough. If a deeper cleaning is needed, we’ll explain why and schedule it for another day.

A personalized care plan
Once we’ve reviewed everything, we’ll talk you through any recommended treatment. Whether it’s a simple filling, cosmetic work, or preventive care, we’ll help you understand your options and create a plan that fits your timeline and comfort.

No pressure, no judgment
Our goal is to help you feel confident about your dental care. We won’t pressure you into anything. We simply want to make sure you have the information and support you need to make the best decisions for your health.
