What To Expect During Your First Dental Visit
Our goal when you visit our office for the first time is to show you why we are a totally unique dental practice. Your initial appointment is reserved specifically for a thorough evaluation so we can get a complete picture of your oral health.
We call it “The Most Thorough First Visit / Oral Examination” — essentially a Complete Physical of Your Mouth. This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Lee to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
What Your First Visit Includes
Every new patient receives a comprehensive evaluation that covers every aspect of your oral health. Here is what you can expect:
The Most Thorough First Visit
We pride ourselves on providing what we call a Complete Physical of Your Mouth. Unlike a quick check-up, our first visit is designed to uncover any potential issues and give you a clear understanding of your oral health.
Using state-of-the-art digital X-rays with significantly lower radiation than traditional film, along with intra-oral cameras that let you see exactly what Dr. Lee sees, we ensure you are fully informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your dental health.
After the examination, Dr. Lee will sit down with you to discuss findings, answer all of your questions, and outline a customized treatment plan—all at your own pace and with zero pressure.
Ready to experience the most thorough dental visit of your life? We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.
Book Your First VisitFrequently Asked Questions
How long does the first dental visit typically take?
Your first visit at Julia Lee D.D.S. is reserved as a comprehensive new patient exam, and typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. This allows Dr. Lee adequate time to review your medical and dental history, complete a thorough oral examination, take digital X-rays, and discuss a personalized treatment plan with you.
Will I receive a cleaning at my first visit?
The initial appointment is dedicated to a complete examination so Dr. Lee can fully assess the health of your mouth before any treatment begins. Depending on your needs, a cleaning may be scheduled as a separate appointment immediately following or shortly after your exam.
What is included in the comprehensive oral examination?
Your first exam includes a dental and medical history review, blood pressure screening, comprehensive oral examination, TMJ and bite evaluation, soft tissue and cancer screening, periodontal measurements, dental charting, an intra-oral video tour of your mouth, and digital X-rays with lower radiation than traditional film.
Is the first consultation really complimentary?
Yes. At Julia Lee D.D.S., we believe you should have the opportunity to meet Dr. Lee and learn about your oral health without financial pressure. Our comprehensive first visit consultation is complimentary, giving you the information you need to make confident decisions about your care.
What happens after my exam — will I be pressured into a treatment plan?
Not at all. After your examination, Dr. Lee will sit with you to review her findings and answer all of your questions at your own pace. Any recommended treatment is presented as options for you to consider, and you are never obligated to proceed with anything during your first visit.
