Prepare For Your First Visit
Your initial dentist appointment at our Palmyra, VA location will typically consist of a comprehensive examination by one of our doctors, a periodontal (gum) evaluation by a dental hygienist, x-rays if appropriate, and a review of your treatment options and associated costs. If you are currently experiencing pain or a dental emergency, please contact the location nearest you, and we’ll schedule you for a problem-focused exam with one of our doctors to immediately address this concern.
We can’t wait to meet you, so to make your first visit as successful and easy as possible, please bring the following documents with you when you arrive at our office:
- Your insurance information so we can help estimate any out of pocket costs
- Any x-rays taken by a previous dentist, if applicable

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
