Becoming a Patient

X-rays are an important diagnostic tool in dentistry because they aid in detecting problems that are not visible during a clinical exam. 

  • Your first appointment will be for a full set of x-rays and a comprehensive oral exam. In addition, a panoramic x-ray, which gives your dentist an expanded view of your jaws, is taken to complete your treatment plan.
  • At the second appointment, your treatment will begin.

Pediatric patients are seen on Wednesday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  Patients from the ages of 3-12 are eligible to be seen as pediatric patients.
