Your First Visit
What a New Patient Dental Exam Includes
Your first appointment is about getting to know you and your teeth. It is thorough but unhurried, and you will leave knowing exactly where you stand.
A conversation first
We ask about your dental history, anything that worries you, and what you actually want from a dentist. If you have been putting off a visit, rest assured that there's no judgment here.
A complete dental exam
Your dentist checks every tooth, your gums, your bite, and the soft tissues of your mouth, including a full oral cancer screening as part of the visit.
Digital X-rays and imaging
Low-dose digital X-rays and, where useful, 3D imaging show us what a visual exam alone cannot catch. You see every image on screen with us as we go.
A professional cleaning
Where it is needed that day, our hygiene team clears plaque and tartar and polishes your teeth. A cleaning and exam together form the foundation of routine care.
Your plan, explained
If anything needs attention, we walk through the options and the pricing before you decide. Many new patients need nothing more than a routine checkup twice a year.

Routine Dental Checkups, Cleanings, and Exams
Good oral health care is mostly about consistency. A dental checkup every six months, with a professional teeth cleaning, catches small problems early. It usually takes under an hour. That includes X-rays when due, a clean and polish, and time to talk through anything we notice. If you have been searching for teeth cleaning near me or a dental checkup near me, we are a short drive from anywhere in Batavia and the surrounding towns.
For teeth cleaning, Batavia residents should not have to travel far. For patients who need a little more, such as deeper cleaning for gum health, we plan that with you rather than springing it on you. For those with busy schedules, we also offer appointments on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
Complete General Dentistry Under One Roof
As a general dentist and family dental practice, we handle the everyday and the complex in one place, so you rarely need a referral elsewhere.
- Routine dental care: checkups, cleanings, exams and digital X-rays
- White resin fillings that match your natural tooth color
- Same-day crowns and bridges

- Emergency dental care for toothaches, broken teeth, and swelling
