Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what typically happens during your first dental treatments visit, so you can walk in feeling confident and informed.
A Warm Welcome and Check-In
Your first visit starts at the front desk, where our friendly team will greet you and collect any necessary information. You’ll be asked to fill out new patient forms, including medical history, insurance details, and consent documents.
Pro Tip: Arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete paperwork and settle in comfortably.
Comprehensive Dental Examination
Your dentist will perform a full oral exam to get a baseline understanding of your dental health. This includes:
- Reviewing your dental and medical history
- Inspecting teeth, gums, and jaw for signs of decay, disease, or damage
- Checking your bite and alignment
- Screening for oral cancer
This step helps us detect potential problems early and tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
Digital X-Rays for a Closer Look
To see what’s happening below the surface, your dentist may take digital X-rays of your mouth. These reveal hidden issues such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, or infections that aren’t visible during a visual exam.
X-rays are quick, safe, and an essential part of diagnosing and planning effective treatment.
Professional Cleaning (If Scheduled)
If time allows and your oral condition permits, a dental hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning during your first visit. This involves:
- Scaling to remove plaque and tartar
- Polishing to smooth your tooth surfaces
- Fluoride treatment (if recommended) to protect the enamel
Cleanings not only improve your smile—they also give your dentist a clearer view for assessing your oral health.
Discussing Your Treatment Plan
Once your exam and cleaning are complete, your dentist will explain their findings and walk you through any recommended treatments. This could include anything from fillings or crowns to teeth whitening or orthodontics.
You’ll also discuss:
- Treatment timeline
- Cost estimates
- Insurance coverage and payment options
At MikLynch Dental, we believe in open, pressure-free conversations to ensure you feel fully informed and involved in your care plan.
Questions? We’ve Got You Covered
Never hesitate to ask questions—your first visit is the perfect time to raise concerns about pain, cosmetic goals, dental anxiety, or anything else on your mind. Our team is here to listen, educate, and support you.
We also offer sedation options and comfort amenities for patients who experience dental fear or require more complex procedures.

Before you leave, we’ll help you schedule your next appointment—whether it’s a follow-up treatment or your next routine cleaning. Consistency is key to maintaining oral health, so we make scheduling easy and flexible for every smile in your family.
