What to Expect on Your First Visit

Upon your first visit to our office, you will be greeted by Merla, our office manager or one of our dental assistants. They will be available to assist you should you require any help with your forms.

In most cases, your first visit will not include any treatment. It will be an examination. This allows Dr. Corbett to assess the condition of your teeth and gums and decide on a treatment plan. She will then recommend an appropriate time for your next appointment. Please allow 30 - 60 minutes for your initial consultation.

Please arrive approximately 10 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete forms we require for your file (unless you have printed them from this Web site, then please bring them with you). These forms include: personal, medical and dental histories and a dental insurance information form. It is important that you have all the pertinent information with you including the names and amounts of any medication you take, prescription or otherwise.

Dr. Corbett will begin the exam with a thorough check of your mouth. She may recommend dental x-rays that allow her to assess the bone structure around your teeth. Based on observations while checking your mouth as well as information obtained from your dental x-rays, Dr. Corbett will make recommendations as to the type of treatment, if any, you require. You can then discuss any concerns or questions you have before deciding which option is best for you.

Once your examination is complete, one of the dental assistants will be available to help you schedule your next appointment.
