First Visit Expectations

If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at the dentist. Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Dr. Michael Chusid.

We want to get to know you just as much as we want you to learn more about us during your first visit! Our team is happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about our practice during your appointment. 

Our team will start your appointment by asking a few questions about your medical and dental history. Certain medical conditions or medications can impact your treatment plan, so we will also ask you to list any medications you are taking and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements). 

We will then perform a comprehensive oral exam. This may include x-rays and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease are present, one of our hygienists will continue with a routine cleaning. If we do notice signs of periodontal disease, we may ask you to reschedule the cleaning portion of your appointment to allow more time for a thorough cleaning. 

Once your exam is finished, we will discuss our findings with you. Together, we will create a treatment plan to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. 

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, don’t feel guilty! You have made a great decision for your oral health. 

At Dr. Michael Chusid, we want you to feel relaxed during your visit. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable!
