Your first visit

Wherever you're starting from, we'll meet you there.

Here's exactly what a first visit looks like, so there are no surprises when you walk in.

What to expect

Step by step, from the door to the door

  1. 1

    Greeted by name

    Our front desk answers and welcomes you by name. No phone trees, no feeling like a number.

  2. 2

    Walked back by your hygienist

    Your hygienist walks you back and explains everything as it happens, then introduces you to your doctor.

  3. 3

    Your doctor asks how you feel

    Your doctor starts by asking how you feel and if you have any concerns before looking at a single X-ray.

  4. 4

    Radiographs reviewed with you

    We go through your radiographs together, not behind a closed door, so you see what we see.

  5. 5

    Costs reviewed before you leave

    The front desk walks through costs before you go, so there are no surprises later.

  6. 6

    Walking out the door

    We want you to leave having had a positive dental experience.

If it's been a while

If it's been a while, start here.

If it has been years since your last visit, you are exactly who we built this practice for. We won't lecture you about the past. We look forward.

You'll hear every option with honest pros and cons, and nothing happens until you decide. We move at your pace, one step at a time.

Comfort is built in, too. Our doctors have trained in refined injection techniques to keep things as gentle as possible, and we explain each step in plain language as it happens.

A few common questions

Good to know before you come in

Can I really get a crown in one visit?
Yes. With our CEREC scanners and mills we prepare, design, and seat most crowns in a single appointment, usually under two hours, with no temporaries and no second trip.
I haven't been to the dentist in years. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We meet you where you are, lay out every option with honest pros and cons, and move at your pace. The decision is always yours.
Are you independently owned?
Yes. We are independently owned, not a DSO, and have served the Billings community for years.
Do you see children and families?
Yes. We care for adults and children alike, and we work to make younger patients feel calm and comfortable from the first visit.
