New patients
Your first visit starts with a conversation.
Welcome to Max Cosmetic Dentistry. Your first appointment is an opportunity to get to know the practice, share your goals and build a clear picture of your dental health.

What to expect
A comprehensive appointment may include a health-history review, conversation about concerns, examination, appropriate diagnostic images and a discussion of findings. Cleaning may occur at the same visit or be scheduled according to clinical needs.

Frequently asked questions
Will I receive a cleaning at my first visit?
That depends on the purpose of the visit, your oral health and the type of cleaning or periodontal care indicated after evaluation.
Can I schedule only a cosmetic consultation?
Yes. A cosmetic consultation still includes appropriate evaluation of oral health and the factors that affect treatment choices.
What if I feel anxious about dental care?
Tell the team when scheduling and again at your visit. Understanding your concerns helps the office communicate, pace the appointment and discuss appropriate comfort options.
We look forward to learning what matters to you.
