What To Expect During Your First Visit

We want to make your first visit and every one after at Cary Smiles pleasant and positive. We believe that if you know what to expect, it may ease any fears or concerns you may have about going to the dentist. We simply ask that you arrive on time for your first appointment with us since it may take slightly longer while we work to get you acquainted with our practice. Here is a general overview of what you can expect during your first visit with us at Cary Smiles:

Warm Greeting: Our friendly team will be waiting to greet you upon your arrival and give you a tour of our office.
Health History: Then, we will take you back to one of our patient rooms, where a team member will go over your dental and health history. We take the time to get to know you and your oral health goals while going over any health concerns that may impact your treatment.
Comprehensive Exam: Dr. Rahee Shah will do a full exam of your teeth, gums, mouth and bite to assess the health of your entire oral cavity.
X-Rays: Our team will take X-rays, which serve as valuable tools in your dental health. An X-ray allows Dr. Shah and our team to see a complete picture of your dental health and develop precise treatment plans. We utilize innovative technology that allows us to view your scans immediately, allowing us to communicate our findings with you right away.
Personalized Treatment Plan: After the exam and X-rays, Dr. Shah will speak with you about all the treatment options available. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have or express any concerns before we move forward with a personalized care plan.
Dental Cleaning: Depending on your needs and the time of your last routine dental checkup, you may have a dental cleaning by one of our hygienists. In some instances, we may recommend waiting until your next appointment for your dental cleaning.

Scheduling Follow-Up Appointments

Depending on the treatment plan you and Dr. Shah decided on, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment. At Cary Smiles, we strive to make scheduling appointments easy and hassle-free!
