We’re proud to treat patients of all ages in a warm, welcoming environment equipped with modern technology and comfort-focused amenities.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know you, your goals, and your oral health history. Here’s what you can typically expect:

Full dental and medical history review

Digital X-rays and intraoral imaging (as needed)

Comprehensive oral exam by Dr. Daggs

Discussion of your immediate needs and long-term goals

Review of insurance, financing options, and next steps

If time allows and your oral health permits, a professional dental cleaning may be completed during this same visit.

  • Your driver’s license or government-issued photo ID
