First Visit Expectations

We recognize that most patients appreciate being well informed on what to expect at their first visit with us. Below is an overview of what your first visit to Brite Dental Center will look like.

Your first visit isn’t just about us getting to know you, but an opportunity for you to learn more about our practice! We encourage our new patients to ask any questions they may have about their practice during their visit. 

Our team will start your appointment by asking you some questions about your medical and dental history. Certain medical conditions or medications can impact your treatment plan, so we will also ask you to list any medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking and their dosages.

Dr. Hangal will then perform a comprehensive oral exam. This may include x-rays and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease (gum disease) are present, one of our hygienists will continue with a routine cleaning. If we do notice signs of periodontal disease, we may ask you to reschedule the cleaning portion of your appointment to allow more time for a thorough cleaning. 

Once your exam is finished, Dr. Hangal will discuss her findings with you. Together, you will create a treatment plan that best fits your desires, while also giving you a healthy smile. 

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, don’t feel guilty! You have made a great decision for your oral health. 

We pride ourselves on providing quality, affordable services. We offer many payment options, including CareCredit. We can also prioritize and stagger your treatments to give you the amazing smile you deserve in a timeframe you can afford. 

At Brite Dental Center, we want you to feel relaxed during your visit. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable!
