First Visit Expectations

We know that first visits to any doctor's office can be intimidating. Not only is your physical comfort important to us, but your emotional well-being is, too. Here is what you can expect during your initial visit to Nelsen Family Dentistry.

LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Your first visit is not only about our team getting to know you, but also about you getting to know our team. In the time we spend together, we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your care as individual as you are. We enjoy educating you about your oral health.

Part of getting to know you and providing safe, personalized support involves reviewing your medical history. Certain medical conditions and medications can influence your treatment protocols – so you will be asked to write out a list of your medications and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements).

A full-mouth series of x-rays and a comprehensive oral exam of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw will be performed, including a non-invasive oral cancer screening.

YOU’RE IN GREAT HANDS

If you haven’t been to a dentist for a while, please don’t worry. You’ve made an important decision – no need to feel guilty!
Once your entire exam is complete, the doctors will talk with you about their findings. Together, you can create a healthy, effective treatment plan that best meets your dental and personal requirements. We can prioritize and stagger your treatments to give you the smile you deserve in a timeframe you can afford.
Finally, we want you to know we will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed and safe. We want your visit with us to exceed your expectations, so please ask any questions and offer any suggestions you have! Come on in, recline and unwind – you’re in great hands.
