Whether you are a regular dental patient, or it’s your first time back to see a dentist in years, we want to welcome you! What we hear from many new patients who have not been regular, is that they were embarrassed to come in because it had been so long. Please, do not feel embarrassed! This is what we are here for. Feel free to read more below about what the first visit usually entails. 

On your first visit, you can expect to spend about one to two hours with us. Depending on the number of concerns you have, we may schedule more time for discussion. We will complete a comprehensive oral exam, which includes all necessary X-rays and intraoral photographs. We will then spend time reviewing your medical and dental history and invite you to share all questions and concerns you may have regarding your oral health. Afterwards, we will review our findings in detail. We will identify all concerns by showing you the relevant X-rays and photographs. If treatment is required, we will explain the available options and make a recommendation based on your unique situation. At Ruby Family Dentistry we take pride in the thorough communication we provide our patients. We want to you be an active participant in your oral health and understand all presented treatment.
