- Teeth CleaningThe hardest appointments to get in our office are the first new-patient exam and the first cleaning appointment, as we pre-book all of our patients for their 6-month cleaning appointments. We also devote a great deal of time and energy to our new patients so that we can get to know one another and educate you on your mouth. You will be here approximately 1.5 - 2 hours for your new patient appointment. (This does NOT include a dental cleaning.)
