What to Expect at Your First Visit
Warm Welcome
Your visit begins with a warm greeting from our front desk team. If you’ve already completed your patient forms online, great! If not, we’ll guide you through the process quickly and efficiently. We’ll gather any additional details we need to ensure your records are complete and accurate.
Comprehensive Exam and Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Mielad Abady will take the time to get to know you and discuss your oral health goals. Your comprehensive exam will include:
A thorough review of your dental and medical history.
High-resolution imaging and X-rays to assess your oral health.
A full evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite to identify any concerns.
Dr. Abady will explain his findings in detail and recommend a personalized treatment plan, if necessary. Whether it’s routine care or addressing specific concerns, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your dental health.
Comfortable Cleaning (If Applicable)
In many cases, your first visit includes a professional dental cleaning. Our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean. If additional care is needed, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment that works with your schedule.
