What to Bring to Your Appointment
To make your visit smooth and easy, please bring:
- A photo ID
- Your dental insurance card (if you have one)
- A list of any medications you take
- Any recent X-rays or dental records (if available)
- Your completed new patient forms (if you filled them out online)
If you do not have insurance, that is okay. Our team can review fees, payment options, and any current specials with you.
When You Arrive
You will be greeted by our front desk team and checked in.
We will:
- Confirm your contact and medical information
- Go over your insurance and payment options
- Answer any questions you have before you sit down
If you are feeling nervous, let us know. This is a judgment-free office. We are here to help, not to judge how long it has been since your last visit.
Your Comfort Menu
Before your exam starts, we will offer comfort options to help you relax, such as:
- Cozy blankets and pillows
- Wireless headphones
- In-room TVs
- Warm towels
- Beverage bar in the lobby
You can choose what sounds best for you. If there is anything else that helps you feel more at ease, tell us. We will do our best to make it happen.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Most first visits include:
- A friendly tour of the office so you know where everything is
- Digital X-rays and any needed imaging
- A gentle gum and tooth health check
- An oral cancer screening
- A dental cleaning in most cases, unless your gums need a different type of care
We use modern tools like digital scanners and advanced imaging to make your visit more comfortable and efficient. That often means fewer visits, no messy impressions, and clearer answers about what is going on with your teeth and gums.
You can ask questions at any time. We explain what we are doing in simple language, step by step.
Meeting Your Dentist
You will spend one-on-one time with Dr. Stevan Djordjevic.
He will:
- Review your X-rays and exam findings with you
- Ask about your goals, concerns, and past dental experiences
- Explain what he sees in clear, honest terms
- Share options, not pressure
“Dentistry allows me to build meaningful relationships, educate my patients, and make a positive impact, one smile at a time.” – Dr. Djordjevic
This is your time to talk openly. If you are interested in implants, clear aligners, fixing a specific tooth, or handling pain, let him know. Together, you will decide what feels right for you.
Your Personalized Plan
After your exam, we will outline a simple, step-by-step plan.
This may include:
- Routine cleanings and checkups
- Restorative work, like fillings or crowns
- Dental implants or other tooth replacement options
- Clear aligners or other cosmetic upgrades
- Emergency or urgent care if something is hurting now
Our treatment coordinator will go over:
- Your recommended next steps
- How your insurance may help
- Estimated out-of-pocket costs
- Payment and financing options
You will leave knowing what is going on with your smile, what your choices are, and what things are likely to cost—without surprises.
If You Are Here for an Emergency
If you booked a same-day emergency visit, our first priority is getting you out of pain.
We will:
- Listen to what is going on
- Take any needed X-rays
- Diagnose the problem
- Offer same-day relief when possible
- Explain your options for follow-up treatment
You will still get clear answers and a simple plan, even if the visit is focused on urgent care.
