First Visit

The New Patient Experience

We welcome guests to our practice for comprehensive dental care. With this new patient “experience” we need about 2 hours of your time. The first hour will be with Dr. Hope where after the appropriate digital x-rays are taken, you will get to spend quality time with the doctor. Any concerns you have will be addressed as will any findings the doctor has. An oral cancer exam, initial periodontal exam, TMJ exam, and a restorative dental exam will be done. A digital video tour of your mouth will be done as well. Utilizing all of the information and discussing your desires and goals, a thorough care plan will be made and individualized for you.

In the second hour you will spend time with our dental hygienist. She will thoroughly evaluate you periodontal tissues (gums), discuss periodontal disease with you, and clean your teeth. At that time she will make recommendations on how to either get your gums healthy or how to keep them healthy. A periodontal care plan will be customized just for you.

Cosmetic Consultations

Many people join our practice after seeing some of our patients and after hearing about our excellence in cosmetic dentistry. We offer complimentary cosmetic consultations where you can spend 10-15 minutes with Dr. Hope. At this consult you can ask the doctor questions on how he can give you the smile you have always dreamed of. With his advanced training from the Las Vegas Institute, Dr. Hope is well able to draw out a plan to give you that long deserved smile. If you like what you see and hear during that consultation, a more comprehensive appointment will be needed to gather the required diagnostic information and to proceed with your brand new smile.

Emergencies

If you are having an emergency we will find time as soon as possible to get you in and make you feel better. Our goal is to make you comfortable and we will care for you in the gentlest manner possible.
