First Visit: A Closer Look at Your Dental Health

If it’s your first time seeing a dentist in our office, the goal is understanding. That means assessing your current condition, reviewing your dental history, and having an open conversation about your priorities.

Here’s what to expect:

  • A full exam with digital imaging if needed
  • A routine cleaning to support oral health
  • A discussion about any concerns or questions you have

We’ll only recommend treatment you actually need, and we’ll guide you through each step so you never feel left in the dark.

Complete Dental Services Near Irondequoit

Our Rochester office provides a wide range of dental services in one location. That means you don’t have to visit separate offices for basic cleanings, restorative work, or advanced treatment plans. Each service is designed with long-term dental health in mind and customized to suit your lifestyle and needs.

General Dentistry

Regular checkups, cleanings, and cavity prevention for adults and children. We emphasize early detection and routine care to keep your smile healthy.

Emergency Visits

When something can’t wait, we offer same-day appointments for urgent issues like chipped teeth, infections, or sudden pain.

TMJ/TMD Relief

For patients with ongoing jaw tension, clenching, or headaches, we provide targeted treatment options to relieve discomfort and protect long-term bite function.

Dental Implants

Missing a tooth? Implants offer a stable, lasting solution that mimics the appearance and function of natural teeth. We handle both placement and restoration in-house.

Crowns and Restorations

Crowns help restore the strength and shape of damaged teeth. We use quality materials to ensure durability and a natural fit with surrounding teeth.

Sedation Options

If anxiety or long treatment times are a concern, we offer safe sedation methods to make your visit easier.

Discreet straightening for teens and adults, using clear aligners to improve your bite without traditional braces.

Holistic Dentistry

We also offer biologic, whole-body approaches to dental care for patients looking for alternatives to traditional materials or methods.

Coverage and Payment Options That Work for You

We believe quality dental care should be accessible. That’s why we accept many PPO insurance plans and are happy to work directly with your provider to manage claims and clarify your benefits.

If you don’t have dental insurance, you can still receive regular care through our in-house savings plan. It offers preventive services—like cleanings and exams—at a set annual cost, along with reductions in the price of other treatments.

Need more time to pay for a larger procedure? We coordinate with third-party financing programs that let you break payments into manageable monthly installments.

You can explore all options on our Insurance and Financing Info page, or reach out to our front desk for guidance.
