Smilehaus Newmarket
Dr. Youngwoo Joo

What happens during my first dental visit?

We receive many questions from new patients about what to expect during their first appointment. These are the most common concerns we address:

Will I See the Dentist or Hygienist First?

Your first appointment at Smilehaus Newmarket typically lasts 60-90 minutes and includes a comprehensive exam, digital x-rays, and usually a professional cleaning.

You'll start with our hygienist, who will review your medical and dental history, take necessary x-rays, and often perform your cleaning. Then your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bite.

What If You Find Problems?

If we discover issues like cavities or gum disease, we'll show you using our digital imaging technology and explain your treatment options clearly. We'll discuss the timeline, costs, and answer all your questions before recommending any treatment.

Will You Lecture Me About My Dental Habits?

Never. We're here to help, not judge. Whether you haven't visited a dentist in years or you're dealing with dental anxiety, we'll work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs and comfort level.

What Should I Bring to My First Appointment?

Bring your insurance card (if applicable), a list of any medications you take, and any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. We'll handle the rest.
