Your First Dental Visit

Overview

Serving Cherry Creek and Denver, Colorado

During your first visit, you will be given an opportunity to talk to Dr. Jeff Johnston, DDS, and take a tour of our office. However, you will also undergo a comprehensive examination to help us make informed treatment recommendations. During this exam, we will assess the type of cleaning you may need and determine if an additional appointment is required. The initial appointment is designed to gather more information about your dental history and the current state of your oral health. During your first visit, a teeth cleaning may not be completed, as this depends on what we identify in the exam.

You can fill out your new patient paperwork before you come into the office, or you can complete it when you arrive. This patient history form is crucial for us to obtain complete information about your medical and dental health.

We will then perform a clinical examination. If you have records from your previous dentist, please bring those to help give a baseline for your treatment plan. Appropriate X-rays will be taken using our digital X-rays. Not only do these X-rays provide immediate images on the computer screen, but they also use up to 80% less radiation than conventional X-rays. We will also take intra-oral pictures to provide you with full visual evidence of the condition of your mouth, allowing you to participate in discussions about the care that might be needed.

Your exam will include your head and neck, facial and oral soft tissues, oral cancer screening, dental and periodontal exam, and functional assessment, including dental impressions and bite registration to determine the alignment of your bite.

Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we will present your recommended treatment. To schedule your first consultation at our Cherry Creek cosmetic dentistry practice, please contact us today.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most efficient and kind dentist and staff out there! I can't recommend them highly enough. I love the personal touch they bring to every appointment — they truly make you feel like family. Recently, I had a cap replaced, and it was amazing to watch them create the new cap right there in the office, all in one visit. No waiting for a lab! They also filled a cavity for my daughter, and the way they handled her fear of needles was incredible — so gentle and reassuring. If you're looking for top-notch dental care with a team that genuinely cares, this is the place! John Mc. Centennial, CO

I chipped my front 2 teeth a year ago and was not satisfied at all with the work done at another dentist in Fort Collins. I came here and had a great experience! The staff are all very kind and understanding. I ended up getting 2 veneers and the process was mostly pain-free and my teeth look 100x better than they did before! The entire staff is very skilled, I will definitely be coming back here for anything I need 👍
