First visit


We do not like to make our patients wait beyond the time reserved for their visit. We like to give our guests the full attention they deserve. We also like for our guests' visit to go smoothly with no unpleasant surprises or interruption. This takes planning and scheduling. We prefer to not render definitive treatment on a guest during his initial visit because we can only guess, without prior examination, what procedures and how much time is required. This often results in the "do not likes" mentioned above. Instead, we can aptly plan for an introductory interview and a comprehensive examination which generally includes teeth and gums (periodontal disease screening), bite, TMJ function, oral cancer screening, cosmetic analysis, radiographic exam and photography. We may make plaster models of your teeth for further evaluation. If our guest presents initially with discomfort, we will assure that he/she will be made comfortable upon leaving. This approach enables us to have a database familiarizing us with our patients' needs so we can both sail smooth waters together.

Our offices provide a full range of dental services. Following is a list of those services with informative links.

 

Of course, planning is essential to success in dentistry, so we think it is important to perform a thorough examination on our new patients and consult with them about a treatment plan and payment schedule prior to rendering treatment.

Emergencies

We feel that any problem you consider to be an emergency is an emergency.  Also, we do not stop being your dentist after we go home.  If necessary, we can return to the office to see a patient.  Please give us a call (251)974-1512. We will do our best to respond promptly.  After hours, our answering machine will direct your call.
