Your First Dental Exam at Biggio Dental Care: What to Expect

Your first appointment includes:

• A review of your dental and medical history
• A full oral health evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jaw
• Digital X-rays to check for hidden cavities, bone loss, or infections
• An oral cancer screening for early detection
• A professional cleaning (if no deep cleaning is required)

This thorough exam helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Most new patient exams last 60 to 90 minutes, allowing us to conduct a full evaluation, take X-rays, and discuss any concerns or treatment recommendations.

Digital X-rays help us detect issues that may not be visible during a standard exam. If you have recent X-rays from another dentist, we can request them before your appointment.

No worries! Whether it’s been a few years or longer, our team is here to help, not judge. We’ll assess your oral health and develop a plan to restore and maintain your smile at your pace.

Many dental insurance plans cover exams and X-rays for new patients. Our team will verify your benefits and provide a cost estimate. If you’re uninsured, we offer affordable payment options to ensure you receive the care you need.
To make your visit smooth, we recommend:

• Completing new patient forms in advance (available on our website)
• Bringing a list of medications you’re taking
• Having your insurance information ready
• Preparing any questions or concerns about your oral health
