WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW PATIENT

Before you come in
Submit the new patient form online or in person when you arrive. We suggest sending the new patient form prior to your visit so that we can sufficiently look at your oral history to get a more clear picture of your oral health.

Comprehensive Dental Exam
We discuss your oral history and provide an oral cancer screening. We take 3D images of your jaw to see the structure and alignment of the teeth and to determine if there are any underlying issues that cannot be seen by the naked eye. We use our iTero scanner – a radiation-free scanner that creates three-dimensional images of your mouth, teeth, gums, and overall oral structure in minutes. . In short, we are going to assess your overall oral health and come up with a plan that addresses any issues but also prioritizes your concerns.

Achievable Treatment Plan
Work with Dr. Leite to come up with a treatment plan that will meet your goals, achieve your vision, and guarantee an optimal state of oral health.

Teeth Cleaning
A thorough cleaning of the teeth to get rid of germs and bacteria so that your teeth stay healthy, strong, and white. We remove unwanted particles that brushing may leave behind. We’ll also look out for any signs of decay or gum inflammation. For patients who have gum disease, we have specific treatments to address any gum-related issues. We offer anti-anxiety options and numbing for those you experience nervousness or have particularly sensitive teeth.

Tips for Tooth Health
We always leave you with tips that are tailored to your particular dental needs. Dr. Leite will also educate you on proper brushing and flossing methods, and any foods that a patient should avoid.
