Your first visit here at Palo Alto Dental Center will typically consist of a VERY thorough exam which includes screening for oral cancer, head, and neck exam, exam of the teeth, the gums, and the bite. And we will also take the necessary x-rays, we will try to also do your cleaning on the first visit but only if you need regular cleaning and also due to a complex treatment plan or complex medical history, you may require further evaluation and a second appointment. We will make sure to accommodate your schedule.
To help your visit go as smoothly as possible, please come prepared with the following information:
- X-rays from previous dental practices
- A list of any or all medication that you’re presently prescribed and taking
- Your dental insurance information
- Patient forms filled out
Having this prepared and ready for your appointment will save you time and allow us to make your first visit the very best experience.
We’re so excited to see you. If you have any questions, please call (650) 494-1122 or send us an email.
