Ready to Welcome New Patients in Los Gatos
We are beyond excited to see you and begin working with you towards a future of happy, healthy smiling! To ensure that things go smoothly on the day of your initial visit, we ask that you spend a little time reviewing the information listed below. We know that visiting a dental office in Los Gatos for the very first time isn’t always easy, so please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Your First Visit
In today’s society, first impressions are pretty important – which is why we want your first visit to be positive, productive, and a sign of many good things to come!
You can expect your initial appointment to take around an hour; however, know that Dr. Herrera and our talented team will ensure that every second spent here is beneficial for your dental health. X-rays will be taken of your orofacial anatomy, and we’ll perform a very thorough and comprehensive oral examination, review your medical history, screen for cancer, and review all of our findings with you.
You won’t leave without a clear idea about the state of your smile, along with a plan for how we can work with you to ensure lasting dental wellness. Finally, we’ll walk you out and help you schedule your next appointment.
