Your first visit
A clear starting point for your dental care. Meet the team, talk about your concerns, and understand your oral health before choosing your next steps.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Allow about one hour for your routine new patient evaluation.
1. Talk About Your Goals
Share your concerns, dental history, and what you hope to improve. There is time to discuss your needs and ask questions.
2. Evaluate Your Oral Health
Your visit includes a doctor’s examination, a full set of dental X rays, and an iTero scan that creates a 3D record of your teeth. Imaging is selected according to your clinical needs and available records.
3. Understand Your Next Steps
Dr. Rudnick explains the findings and recommended care. You can discuss treatment options and plan the next visit with our team.
Your first routine visit is an evaluation. A cleaning is scheduled after we assess your teeth and gums and determine the appropriate care.
A focused emergency visit or TMJ evaluation follows a different visit plan. Our team can help you request the right appointment.
Prepare for Your Visit
Our team can help you complete the forms needed for your appointment.
Ask our team for your current online new patient form link. Let us know if you need help completing your forms. You can also download the new patient PDF below. Complete the TMJ or sleep history forms when requested by our team.
