Let’s get to know each other
Your first visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you just as much as it is for you to get to know our team. Time is set aside to understand your concerns, expectations, and dental goals, so care feels personal from the very beginning. We encourage open conversation and want you to feel comfortable sharing anything that helps us support your care in a way that feels right for you.
Part of providing safe and personalized dental care involves reviewing your medical history. Certain health conditions, medications, vitamins, and supplements can influence treatment planning, so we take time to review this information carefully. This helps ensure that recommendations are made with your overall health in mind, not just your teeth.
A comprehensive dental evaluation is completed during your visit, including digital X-rays and a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. This evaluation allows us to gain a clear understanding of your oral health and identify any areas that may need attention as part of your ongoing care.
You’re in Comfortable, Capable Hands
Time away from the dentist can happen for many reasons, and there is never any judgment here.
Once your exam is complete, Dr. David Fisher will review the findings with you in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Together, we discuss treatment options and create a plan that aligns with your dental needs, priorities, and schedule. Care can be phased over time when appropriate, allowing treatment to feel manageable and well-paced.
Your comfort matters throughout every visit. Physical comfort is supported through a calm environment and thoughtful care, while emotional comfort is respected through patience and clear communication. Our goal is for you to feel relaxed, supported, and confident knowing your care is guided by experience and genuine attention.
