What to Expect as a New Patient of MaconSmiles Family Dentistry
We ask that you plan to arrive at your appointment a little early so that you'll have the proper amount of time to complete the health information and insurance forms that'll be needed before your exam. Your first visit with us should last for approximately one hour. During this session, your Macon dentist will:
- Listen to any concerns you may have about your appointment.
- Give you a thorough oral exam.
- Take any needed x-rays.
- Outline any existing dental problems and propose a treatment plan.
- Offer you oral hygiene instructions and tips on how to take better care of your teeth and gums following your appointment!
The MaconSmiles Difference
One of the main things that we believe at MaconSmiles is that good dental care begins with open communication. We'll always promise to speak openly with you about our diagnosis as well as any symptoms that may require further treatment from your dentist in Macon.
We'll also let you know about any other important information that can include alternative treatments, costs, and lifestyle recommendations - all so that you'll have the ability to make the choices that are best for your smile and your everyday life.
We want you to feel comfortable about asking us any questions and as your Macon, GA dental team, we'll always be glad to assist you in any way that we possibly can. By working together, we'll be able to help you achieve a healthier and happier smile!
"The staff at the front desk were really warm and inviting, & professional. the dental hygienists & Dr. Shah were also incredibly comforting & accommodating (changing dentists is scary!). I've already recommended this office to my mom, grandma, & boyfriend. Thanks so much for the easy transition!"
