What to Expect at Your First Visit to Sierra Dental in River North

Your first visit is all about you – your comfort, your happiness, and your health.

During your first visit, we will:

  • Review your dental and medical history forms
  • Take X-rays of your teeth and mouth
  • Doctor performs exam
  • Clean and polish your teeth, checking your teeth and gums for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis
    After your checkup and teeth cleaning are complete, the doctor will meet with you to discuss your X-rays, help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have.
