- Dental ExaminationA: A dentist must conduct an in-person oral examination before offering any diagnoses. That examination is part of your initial dental appointment.
- X-raysThe dentist will then conduct a visual examination, and the assistant will take photographs of your mouth for your records. Next they will take all necessary digital dental x-rays, which the dentist can interpret immediately.

- Teeth WhiteningA: Yes. This new, in-office professional whitening is aesthetic, painless and some say, relaxing. It takes about 20 minutes during an in-office dental appointment. It leaves one’s teeth looking about half a shade lighter, so it is a fast and natural-looking way to brighten up a smile for about six months. We also provide you with an at-home booster to extend the effectiveness of the treatment. We recommend that you schedule a whitening after your hygiene appointment.
