Your First Visit
We ask that you please arrive 20 minutes early so that you have enough time to fill out a New Patient form.
Initial Examination
After introductions, your dentist will begin your visit by reviewing your medical and dental history. They will then thoroughly examine your gums, teeth, bite and jaw, and perform any required X-rays.
Based on your history and examination, your dentist will develop a long-term dental treatment plan for you. Your dentist will also take the time to answer any questions you have about your dental health and treatment options.
First Hygiene Visit
Your first visit with the dental hygienist consists of a complete evaluation of your gums and the bones around your teeth. Oral hygiene and nutritional instructions are given and the hygienist will then remove tartar buildup and stains. Fluoride treatment may be recommended for children and some adults.

Support for Anxious Patients
Anxiety or fear around dental appointments is very common and it can prevent people from getting the dental care they need. If this sounds like you, don't fret.
The team at Richmond Village Dental offers dental sedation using nitrous oxide to help you relax during your appointments. We are also happy to discuss your concerns related to dental services. We believe that communication is the key to trust.
