New Patients – Dublin, OH

Preparing You For Your First Visit

As a new patient to Distinctive Smiles of Dublin, allow us to welcome you! As a dental office that cares deeply for those living in and around the Dublin area, we are committed to providing exceptional, first-rate service and treatment. Instead of leaving dental patients feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and scared about their oral health, we aim to change the way people view the dentist. To ensure that your first visit is seamless, we’ve included some information below for you to review. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our dental office.

Your First Dental Visit

Your patient concierge, Katie, will invite you into the personal consultation room to discuss your health history and any concerns you may have about the health or appearance of your smile. One of our team members will take the necessary X-rays, and then Dr. Buck will spend about an hour performing your thorough, comprehensive dental exam, including a TMJ evaluation, periodontal assessment, bite analysis, and oral cancer screening. Several photos of your teeth will be taken to further evaluate your dental health and have a record of your current dental condition. If your mouth is free of any periodontal issues, one of our gentle hygienists will perform a complete tooth cleaning at that time.

 

If comprehensive care is recommended, the patient is asked to return at a later time for a consultation to view their pictures and discuss any recommended treatment. This allows you to discover the true condition of your teeth and decide the best treatment for you. This complimentary consultation takes place in a quiet, private environment so you can make an informed, relaxed decision.
