When you come to Southern Smiles for the first time, you start building a lasting and comfortable relationship with our team. However, we know not everyone is familiar with how a first dental visit goes or which information they must gather before their appointment.
Please read this page if you want to know what to expect during your next consultation. We explain our mission statement and paint a general picture of a typical visit. You can also find all the practical information you need, such as a map and practice hours.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to create an atmosphere of caring professionalism and to deliver quality dental care with compassion, excellence and value. We strive to treat our patients as we would with our family as well as make our practice strong, profitable and state-of-the-art.
What To Expect at Your First Visit
We’re excited to welcome you to Southern Smiles! Your first appointment, which typically lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, is designed to help us get to know you, understand your dental needs, and provide the education and guidance necessary to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
During your visit, you will experience:
- A warm welcome from our team.
- A review of your medical and dental history.
- A comprehensive dental examination, including an evaluation of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
- Digital X-rays and other diagnostic images.
- 3D CBCT Scan: Provided as a courtesy to all new patients, this advanced 3D image gives us a more comprehensive view than traditional X-rays, helping identify potential concerns earlier.
- A discussion of any concerns, symptoms, or treatment goals you may have.
- Personalized recommendations and a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Being well-prepared for your appointment helps our team provide you with the highest quality care. Before your visit, we encourage you to complete our new patient forms so we can review your information and get to know you better before you arrive. This allows us to make your first appointment as efficient and personalized as possible.
If you have any questions about our office, services, or paperwork, our team is just a phone call away and happy to assist you. We look forward to welcoming you to the Southern Smiles family and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
