Your First Visit
A calm welcome,
and a clear next step.
Your first visit is about getting to know you, listening to what you want from your dental care, and giving you a thorough exam without rushing or pressure.
What to expect
Plan on about an hour. We’ll have you fill out paperwork (or bring it pre-completed from our forms page), take a few digital x-rays, and do a comprehensive exam. Dr. Sanie will go over what he sees with you on a screen, listen to any concerns, and lay out a clear plan with priorities and pricing, yours to take home.
What to bring
- Your insurance card, if you have dental coverage
- A list of any medications you’re taking
- Any previous dental x-rays from another office (the front desk can email or transfer these for you)
- Names of any other doctors who care for you
- Notes on what you’d like us to know, anxiety, sensitive teeth, anything that hasn’t worked at past dentists
Patients under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you have medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or artificial heart valves, please let us know when you book.
A few things we don’t do
- We don’t pressure you into treatment. Ever. You’ll leave with information, not an aggressive sales pitch.
- We don’t shame you for being overdue. Whether your last cleaning was six months ago or six years ago, you’re welcome here.
- We don’t rush. If you have questions, we have time.
If you’re anxious about the dentist
You’re not alone, and we hear it often. Tell us at booking, and we’ll plan extra time, talk you through everything before we do it, and stop the moment you raise a hand. Plenty of patients who’d avoided dentists for years have come to us and are now back on a six-month rhythm.

Same-day treatment when possible
If you have a small concern that can be addressed on the same day as your exam, we’ll often offer to take care of it then, saving you a return trip. Larger work is scheduled for follow-up visits at your convenience.
New patients welcome
Your calmer dental visit
is one conversation away.
