What To Expect
Your Dental Experience
Come into our office, fill out a few forms, and enjoy a free beverage while you wait for your first appointment. When it’s time for your visit, one of our team members will bring you back to an operating room.
One of our dentists will perform a comprehensive oral exam and take X-rays to assess your oral health. If we don’t notice any major issues, one of our hygienists will clean and polish your teeth. Then, you’ll be sent home after you schedule your next six-month appointment.
If your dentist does notice an issue, they’ll discuss it with you, along with any next steps and recommended treatments. You can trust Summit Family Dentistry to take great care of you while you get the treatment you need.
