EDINA NEW PATIENT INFORMATION

First Visit Experience

“ I never learned so much about my teeth!” – P.N.

 

From the moment you call us to the end of your first visit, we prioritize learning about our new dental patients in Edina. Why? The more we know about you and your smile, the better we can educate you and empower you to take charge of your own oral health. We are here to guide, support, and encourage you, but ultimately, all choices regarding your oral health are up to you.

If you want to find ideal health and beauty, you have definitely come to the right place! Because this first visit is so important, it may take a little longer than you are used to dental visits taking. Be prepared to set aside approximately 90 minutes for this visit. It covers a lot – you won’t regret it!

Upon arrival for your appointment as a new dental patient in Edina, and at every visit to follow. A team member will greet you, take your coat if necessary, offer you a drink (coffee, tea, water, or juice). Let us know your preference!), show you around the office, and sit down for a chat.

This is a very special time for our new dental patients in Edina; while we go over your paperwork and medical history, getting to know you and welcoming you into our patient family is also an important part of creating the perfect treatment plan tailored to your needs. In your own words, we want you to share what dental care you’ve had prior to this appointment.

Every smile is as unique as the person who wears it, and we want to know everything about our new dental patients in Edina!

Our comprehensive exams for new dental patients in Edina are our first introduction to your oral health, so we thoroughly analyze your teeth, gums, mouth, jaw, head, and neck to ensure we can recommend a customized treatment plan. To help you prepare for your visit and understand what to expect, check out this guide on what to expect at your first dental appointment. It covers everything from initial greetings to comprehensive exams and helps you feel more at ease.

But don’t worry! Nothing is tedious or boring about these initial exams; patients often exclaim how much they learn about their mouths! And now, with the addition of our AI software, new dental patients love seeing up close what is happening in their mouth.

Understanding that catching potential problems such as cavities, periodontal disease, or abnormalities in tooth structure at such an early stage is a huge benefit to early intervention for our new dental patients in Edina. Our primary purpose is to look at your long-term needs and determine what we can do to help you stay healthy for as long as possible with as little work as feasible.

If your needs are straightforward, we can often offer our new dental patients in Edina a treatment plan on the spot. Other times, Dr. Brandenburg likes to take some time to contemplate and investigate your case, explore options, and then bring you back for a consultation.

Your cleaning will take place on your next visit. In the future, your exams will be combined with your cleanings, but we separate the two for our new dental patients in Edina during this initial visit. This approach allows us to get the best overview of your health, gather all necessary data, and create the most accurate baseline possible as a starting point for all future visits—including the way we customize your cleaning!
