For a new patient visit, you can expect about an hour and a half for the full exam, x-rays and treatment discussion. With a cleaning, your visit will take at least two hours. Please let us know if you are interested in a cleaning when scheduling your visit so we can reserve time with the hygienist for you.

Patients are understandably concerned about being exposed to radiation. However, the amount of radiation from a dental x-ray is minimal, making them safe for both children and adults when done properly. X-rays are important when diagnosing any issues you may have with your mouth.

Dental x-rays while pregnant are also safe with proper shielding. Please let your dentist know if you are pregnant.
