What To Expect on Your First Dentist Visit to Signature Dentistry
We fully care for and respect our patients and their time. You will experience little or no waiting prior to your appointment. When you come in the office, you will be greeted by a member of our knowledgeable and friendly staff who will guide you through your visit. We see only one patient at a time, so you can expect our full and undivided attention when you visit our dentist in Plano, TX.
Our team works with every patient one-on-one to evaluate their unique risk factors for common dental concerns and to help them maintain a healthy smile between visits.
At your first visit, you will be seen by Dr. Grapevine. Your first visit is usually longer than the following visits because Dr. Grapevine will want to get to know you and listen to your dental concerns and needs. We can help you avoid potential dental problems by identifying early risks. If Dr. Grapevine finds any such risks or instability, he can offer intervention treatments that will prevent future problems and save you from unnecessary pain, and expense.
During a routine visit, you can expect our team to discuss your goals and tailor the visit to your needs.
The most common reply from patients after their first visit is that they have never had a dental care experience like that before. They feel so much better being able to talk with the doctor before any exam is done. They also like that during the exam the doctor shares each step along the way and what is happening as well as why. By the end of the exam, patients have an understanding of their situation and know the path to the care they want and need.
We understand the goal of every patient is to have a smile they are proud of, confidence to chew pain-free, and spend as little as possible on dentistry.
That is why we have created our new patient process to revolve around the patient and what the patient wants.
You will have opportunity to share what your dental desires and goals are with the our team and feel empowered to reach them.
