At David Tillman, DDS, we are committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and state-of-the-art dental care. We understand that you or your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist; you are not alone, and our practice puts forth an extra effort to make sure that you are comfortable and happy every time you visit our practice. We are sensitive to your needs as a patient and you can always count on receiving individual attention from our doctor and staff.

What to Expect at Your New Patient Visit

Your first visit is all about you: your comfort, your happiness, and your dental health.

Your first visit with Dr. Tillman includes:

• A review of your complete dental and medical history forms.
• Complete digital x-rays of your teeth and mouth.
• A comprehensive oral exam, checking for signs of oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, and jaw/bite abnormalities.
• One of our hygienists will clean your teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup, and polish them so your enamel feels and looks incredibly healthy. 

Once Dr. Tillman has reviewed your dental and medical health history forms, and completed your dental exam, he will provide you with a dental consultation, and information about any additional dental treatments you, or your child, may need. During this time Dr. Tillman will also answer any questions you may have. Dr. Tillman and his staff welcome any questions you may have, and are always available to listen to your concerns.

What to Bring to Your First Dental Appointment

• Your completed New Patient Paperwork
• Your insurance card (or, if you were not issued a card, the name and phone number of your insurance provider) 

The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups

No matter what your age, visiting the dentist on a regular basis will help keep your teeth and gums healthy, and your smile bright!

The American Dental Association recommends that you, and your child, visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings; and, we would love to see you here every six months to make sure that your smile is staying healthy!

We understand that you have a busy schedule, so while we like to make sure your appointments are informative, we also like to make sure they don't stop you from doing the things you love! Please be sure to schedule at an hour to an hour and a half for your new patient appointment.
