Your First Visit to ADC Dental Group

Your first appointment with our practice is an important step toward building a healthy, confident smile, and our team is committed to making it a positive experience from start to finish. From the moment you arrive, we focus on your comfort, clear communication, and personalized care.

Whether you are new to the area, returning to our office after a hiatus, or bringing your family for the first time, we are here to answer your questions, ease any concerns, and help you feel right at home.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

A first dental appointment typically lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. This allows enough time for a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays if needed, a thorough cleaning, and a discussion about your oral health goals. We take the time to answer questions and explain findings, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable before moving forward with any recommended treatment. If you have any questions or concerns for us, this is your time to ask—your appointments are time that is set aside specifically for you!

What should I do before my first appointment?

We recommend bringing your dental insurance information (if applicable) as well as a photo ID. Please plan to arrive extra early for your very first appointment to allow time for check-in, questions, and new patient paperwork. We will want to know about any medications, medical conditions, or dental concerns you may have so we can provide safe, personalized care from the start.

I’m nervous about my first appointment, what can I do?

We understand dental anxiety is common, and our office is designed with your comfort in mind. We offer sedation options for patients who feel especially nervous, and our treatment rooms include amenities such as TVs and headphones to help you relax and take your mind off of what’s happening around you. Let our team know about your concerns—we’ll move at your pace, explain each step, and make your visit as calm and comfortable as possible.

Can I schedule a family block appointment?

ADC Dental Group is happy to offer family block appointments. Scheduling multiple family members at the same time or on the same day makes dental care more convenient and helps keep everyone on a consistent preventive care schedule. Our team will work with you to coordinate appointments that fit your family’s needs, saving you time while ensuring each patient receives individualized, attentive care.
