New Patients in Spokane
Here at Metcalf Dentistry, we love meeting new patients. From the moment you call our Spokane, WA office, our team works to make you feel welcome, informed, and comfortable, so your first visit is the start of a positive, lasting relationship with a dental team you can trust.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Part of easing any concerns is explaining exactly what you can expect from our practice. When you are new to our office, we put in the effort to provide a positive and comforting experience. We consider your first visit the start of a long-term relationship with you and your family.
During your initial appointment, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health and create a dental plan based on your unique, individual needs. Your first visit typically includes:
- A review of your dental and medical history and any concerns or goals you have for your smile
- Low-radiation digital X-rays to see what cannot be seen with the naked eye
- Intraoral camera images so you can see exactly what we see
- A comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, including an oral cancer screening
- A personalized conversation about your treatment options, timing, and costs
