Your first visit will start with one of our four experienced and caring hygienists or our Expanded-Function Dental Assistant.

Our team of hygienists and expanded-function dental assistants have a combined 75+ years of providing first-class dental care. We want you to feel like your dental care is in the best hands. Our team will want to learn about you and discuss your dental history with you. At this time you can also discuss any fears or concerns you may have with your oral health or prior dental care and tell us what you expect from our team. This conversation will allow us to provide the best care for you so you can have the healthiest teeth, gums, and mouth possible.

After your initial conversation with the doctor and his team, Dr. Kinn will examine the health of your teeth and mouth.

Additionally, X-rays may be taken at this time if there are no recent X-rays of your mouth available. After your X-rays have been screened, the doctor will do a screening for head and neck cancer. The final screening you will receive is for gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Dr. Kinn wants to make sure that both you and your teeth are in good shape. Your overall oral health and wellness are a big step in achieving good overall health.

If your screenings determine a follow-up consultation is needed, it will be scheduled free of charge.

Your follow-up appointment will be at a time that allows the dentist to review the clinical information and develop a treatment plan specifically for you. The consultation appointment will give you an opportunity to ask questions regarding your ailments, treatments, and any concerns you may have.

Often you will not receive a cleaning during your first visit.

This is extremely common: Our dentist and staff want to learn about your and your mouth before they start treating you. Dr. Kinn will put together a treatment plan for you following your initial visit. This treatment plan will be implemented at your follow-up appointment and begin you on your way to a happy and healthy smile. If nothing else, your first visit with Dr. Kinn will give you an updated status of your oral health. YOUR FIRST VISIT IS COMPLETELY RISK-FREE. We want nothing to get in the way of your comfort in coming to see us.
