Services

Four kinds of visit. One calm room.

Everything we do starts with a conversation. If you are not sure which visit fits, choose First visit or Not sure yet and we will sort it out together.

All visits start with a conversation, not a diagnosis.

01

Routine exam

A look at your teeth and gums, a conversation about anything that is bothering you, and a plain-English summary of what we would suggest next.

What to expect

  • We ask what brought you in
  • We look, and explain what we see
  • You leave with options, not a sales pitch

Good for: A regular check-up, or a first look after moving to the area.

02

Preventive cleaning

A careful clean to lift the build-up that brushing misses, and practical advice that fits your routine at home.

What to expect

  • We check in before we start
  • We work in short, comfortable stages
  • We show you what to keep doing at home

Good for: A routine clean, or a reset if it has been a while.

Family dentistry

Book one request for more than one person in the household. We will do our best to keep family members close together in the schedule.

What to expect

  • Tell us who is coming in the note
  • We reply with options for the group
  • Children stay with you throughout

Good for: Two or more people in one household.

First visit

New to the practice? Start here. We go a little slower, take a full history in person, and answer questions before anything else.

What to expect

  • A longer appointment than a routine exam
  • Your history is taken in the room, not online
  • Nothing happens until you are comfortable

Good for: Anyone joining the practice for the first time.

Not sure which visit fits?

Choose Not sure yet in the form and tell us in a sentence what you need. We will reply with a suggestion, not a diagnosis.
