Required Items Checklist
Online Booking & Automated Reminders
Best Dental makes scheduling as easy as possible — book your appointment online anytime, then receive automated text reminders so you never miss a visit.
Your Comprehensive Dental Examination
Our comprehensive exam goes beyond a simple tooth check — we evaluate your entire oral health system to identify current issues and prevent future problems.
Gum Disease Screening
Periodontal disease affects nearly half of American adults — often without obvious symptoms. We measure pocket depths and assess gums for inflammation before it progresses.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every comprehensive exam includes an oral cancer screening of the lips, tongue, throat, and all soft tissues. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes.
Digital X-Rays
State-of-the-art digital X-rays provide detailed images with 90% less radiation than traditional film. We see between teeth, beneath restorations, and under the gum line.
Bite & TMJ Evaluation
We assess how your teeth come together and look for signs of grinding, jaw clenching, or TMJ dysfunction — issues that can cause headaches and excessive wear.
Full Report & Next Steps
After your exam we'll walk through X-rays and intraoral photos together, explaining every finding in plain language so you leave with a clear picture of your oral health.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Our hygienists are experts at removing them.
What Happens During Your Cleaning
Benefits of Regular Cleanings
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
After your exam and cleaning, your dentist will sit down with you to discuss findings and recommendations. You'll never feel pressured — shared decision-making is how we operate.
Understanding Your Dental Health
We show you your X-rays and intraoral photos, explaining issues clearly — whether it's a small cavity, gum concern, or something like dental implants or cosmetic veneers.
Treatment Options & Priorities
We present all available options with benefits, risks, and costs. We help you prioritize based on urgency, budget, and goals — some issues need prompt attention, others can be monitored over time.
Financial Planning
Our insurance coordinators review your coverage and provide accurate estimates. We maximize your benefits and offer flexible payment plans. Check our pricing information — no surprise costs.
Scheduling Follow-Up Appointments
Before you leave we'll help schedule any necessary follow-up visits, including your next routine cleaning in six months. You'll receive automated text reminders as your next appointment approaches.
Your Comfort Is Part of the Treatment
Dental anxiety is real — so we've outfitted every treatment room with amenities that make a genuine difference. From the moment you sit down to the moment you leave, Best Dental is designed to feel calm and looked-after.
TVs in Every Treatment Room
Each operatory has its own TV with cable — so you can catch the news, a game, or whatever's on while we work. Having something to watch shifts your attention away from the procedure, which makes a real difference during longer appointments.
✦ Cable TV in all treatment roomsNoise-Cancelling Headphones
For patients who find dental equipment sounds stressful, noise-cancelling headphones are available in every room. Connect your phone and listen to your favorite playlist, podcast, or meditation app. Blocking out the clinical soundtrack is one of the most effective ways to stay calm.
✦ Bring your phone — connect your own audioBlankets on Request
Dental offices run cold — air conditioning and lying still in a chair can leave patients feeling chilly and tense. We keep blankets available in every treatment room. Just ask your dental assistant before your appointment begins and we'll have one ready.
✦ Always available — just askComplimentary Beverage Station
Our waiting area has a complimentary beverage station stocked with water, coffee, and tea. Whether you arrived early or are waiting for a family member, help yourself. It's one of those small touches that signals we've thought about your experience from the moment you walk through the door.
✦ Water · Coffee · Tea — complimentaryDental Anxiety? Tell Us Before Your Appointment.
We'll note your preferences, have your blanket ready, and make sure you're set up with headphones before we begin. Patients with significant anxiety may also want to ask about our sedation options — nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation are all available at Best Dental.

Patients with Medical Conditions
If you have diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, or any other medical condition, please inform us before your appointment. We coordinate with your physicians as needed to ensure safe, appropriate care.

Pregnant patients can and should continue routine dental care. Pregnancy increases the risk of gum disease, making cleanings especially important. We take extra precautions with X-rays and medications for both mom and baby.
