Maybe it’s been a while, or maybe you’ve had a bad experience somewhere else. Whatever brings you into our practice, we want you to know one thing before you even walk through our doors: you will be heard, you will be comfortable, and you will never be judged.
A Visit That’s All About You
Every morning, we bake a fresh batch of cookies for our patients, and we’d love for you to enjoy one alongside a complimentary cup of coffee or tea as you get settled in our welcoming waiting area. One thing we’ll never do? Make you wait. We respect that your time is precious, and we’re committed to seeing you promptly at your scheduled appointment time.
Once you’re settled, we’ll take you on a quick tour of the office to help you feel comfortable in our space. Then, in a private consultation room, Dr. Tostado or Dr. Acuña will sit down with you one-on-one to hear what’s brought you to our office. You can plan for about an hour for your visit. And, if you’d like to add a dental cleaning on the same day, just let us know, and we’ll make it happen!
You can expect this initial exam to take just about an hour. This does not include time for a dental cleaning, so if you’d like to have one on the same day of your examination, then please let us know in advance.
You Can Bring the Following Along to Your Appointment
- If you’d like to save time when you arrive, you can download and fill out these forms before you arrive.
- Identification and insurance information so we can help you maximize your out-of-network benefits.
- If you have recent X-rays or records from a previous dentist, please bring them along.
A Thorough Exam with Real Answers
Our team will get a complete picture of your oral health using some of the most advanced diagnostic dental tools available today. We don’t want any guesswork, surprises, or outdated methods in your care.
Here’s what your examination includes:
- An oral cancer screening for your peace of mind
- TMJ evaluation to address any jaw tension or headaches
- Bite assessment so we understand the full picture
- A gum health evaluation to assess the foundation your smile is built on
- Full examination of your teeth with honest findings explained in plain language
After all our findings are reviewed, Dr. Tostado or Dr. Acuña will sit down with you to walk through what they’ve observed and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Making The Chair Feel Less Intimidating
We’ve thought carefully about what makes a dental visit feel stressful, and we’ve included a few additional perks in every treatment room to help you feel more comfortable.
- Noise-canceling headphones: Tune out and zone in on something you love
- Pillows, blankets & eyeshades: Get comfy and fine genuine relaxation
- Aromatherapy & lip balm: Enjoy the smaller things that make a difference
Financial Empowerment
We believe our commitment is to you, not an insurance company. As a result, being out-of-network isn’t a limitation. It means we answer to you, not a claims department. We use the materials we believe in, take the time procedures actually require, and deliver care that’s built to last decades, not just pass an insurance review.
Despite this, our team is still able to assist with filing claims on your behalf to make sure you receive every dollar available for your benefits. We also offer financing plans and a dental membership program to help you fit world-class care into your monthly budget.
