At Oak Dental Associates, our goal is to provide you and your family with life-changing dentistry. We understand that a healthy, beautiful smile not only improves your confidence, but also your overall wellbeing and quality of life. Dr. Chris Pallotto, Dr. Duyen Tran, Dr. Patrick Carroll and our team understand that some patients experience dental anxiety and may even avoid visiting a dentist for this reason. We make it our mission to work with you to reverse this anxiety so you can feel relaxed and enjoy a positive, comfortable experience when you meet with our dentists and team.
Your First Visit
During your first visit, we will review your medical and dental history in addition to taking X-rays of your mouth for our records. We will meet with you in order to discuss your X-rays, answer your questions and plan your treatment. If there is time remaining, one of our dental hygienists will clean your teeth, polish their surfaces and then check your mouth for signs of tooth decay and gum disease.
When you visit for the first time, please bring the following items with you:
- Completed patient forms (available for online submission here on our website)
- Your insurance care or information about your provider
If you need more complex restorative work, we may ask that you return for a second or third visit. Our dentists will discuss the timeline of your treatment plan with you, and may also recommend a mounted diagnostic study cast, the cost of which will be included in a treatment presentation we provide for you.
The Value of Regular Dental Care
Regular dental checkups are essential to maintaining your oral health throughout your life. We, along with the American Dental Association®, recommend that you visit the dentist every six month for routine cleanings and exams. These regular visits allow our dentists and team to monitor your oral health, professional clean your teeth and gums and check that no oral health problems are present. We understand that you have a busy schedule, and encourage you to plan for a 45 to 90 minute appointment.
