Welcome to your dental home

Your First Visit

Taking the first step toward a new dental home can feel overwhelming. We get it! That's why we've designed a first visit experience that's comfortable, unhurried, and focused on getting to know you and your needs. Here's what you can expect when you join our dental family.

Before You Arrive

Think of your first visit as a friendly conversation about your smile. To make things go smoothly, we'll need a few basics:

  • Your dental insurance card (if you have insurance)
  • A list of any medications you're taking
  • Your medical and dental history
  • Any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss

Arriving at Our Office

You'll find us at 147 Main Street in Lodi, on the second floor (don't worry – we have an elevator!). There's free parking right outside, and our friendly team will be waiting to welcome you. If you haven't filled out your new patient forms at home, just come about 15 minutes early and we'll help you get everything sorted.

A Judgment-Free Dental Care Experience

We’ve designed our office to feel more like a relaxing living room than a typical dental office, complete with Netflix streaming, wireless headphones, and warm, scented towels. Your first visit, which lasts about 90 minutes, allows us to:

  • Get to know you and understand your dental goals
  • Perform a gentle, thorough examination
  • Capture necessary images using comfortable digital technology
  • Discuss our findings and recommendations
  • Create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and budget

Haven’t been to the dentist in a while? Feeling nervous? That’s okay! We’re here to help, not judge. Our compassionate team is dedicated to making you feel supported, comfortable, and confident in your care.
