Office Visits
At Affinity Family Dental, we are dedicated to providing your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. We understand that some patients—especially children—may feel a little anxious about visiting the dentist. Our team is attentive, patient, and committed to making every visit as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
Your First Visit: Focused on Your Comfort and Health
Your first appointment is designed around you—your comfort, your questions, and your oral health goals.
During this visit, we will:
Review your dental and medical history forms
Take necessary X-rays of your teeth and mouth
Have our doctor meet with you to review the findings
Create a personalized treatment plan
Address any questions or concerns you may have
At your follow-up visit, one of our hygienists will gently clean and polish your teeth, and examine your gums for signs of cavities, early decay, or gingivitis.
Why Regular Checkups Matter
Consistent dental visits are essential to maintaining a healthy smile. The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for routine cleanings and checkups. These appointments help keep your teeth and gums healthy and allow us to detect concerns early.
Appointment Duration
We respect your time and understand busy schedules. Please plan for your visit to last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the services needed.
