New Patient Visit

Our team is determined to make your visit comfortable. You will notice that the relaxing décor of our office is supported by the latest in technology. Dr. Althoff and a team member will first discuss your needs and concerns. Next, a comprehensive dental exam will be conducted. This may include: a review of your dental and medical history, an oral cancer screening, dental x-rays, periodontal charting, education on your dental condition using an intra-oral camera and a full TMJ evaluation. We have helped many phobic patients renew their faith in dentistry and achieve the healthy, beautiful smile of their dreams.

Should you have any questions or concerns before your appointment, please do not hesitate to call. We are a dental team dedicated to comfort and excellence.
