FIRST VISIT

What to Expect at Your First Visit

We’re excited to welcome you to Total Care Dental & Orthodontics. Your first visit is an important step in your oral health journey, and our team is here to make the experience comfortable, organized and easy to understand.

Your First Visit

During your initial appointment, one of our dentists will perform a comprehensive oral examination, review your dental and medical history, and discuss any recommended treatment.

You’ll also have time to ask questions and share any concerns about your dental health.

Depending on your needs, a dental cleaning may be completed during the same visit or scheduled for a future appointment.

What to Expect

Plan About 60–90 Minutes

Please allow approximately 60 to 90 minutes for your first appointment so our team has time to review your health history, complete your exam and discuss any recommended care.

Arrive a Few Minutes Early

Arriving early gives you time to complete any remaining paperwork and get settled before your visit.
