If it’s your first time visiting Behner Family Dentistry, welcome.
We know going to a new dentist can feel overwhelming—especially if it’s been a while since your last visit. That’s why we make every step clear, comfortable, and low-pressure.
Here’s exactly what you can expect from your first visit.
A Warm, Personalized Welcome
Our office is designed to feel more like a spa than a clinic. When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by our front desk team and offered amenities to help you relax, including:
- Aromatherapy neck pillows
- iPods and headphones
- TVs in every treatment room
- Private spaces if you prefer more quiet
We want you to feel completely at ease. No judgment. No pressure. Just quality care and kindness.
A Full Dental Exam
Your first visit includes a complete oral evaluation, where we’ll check:
- Teeth and gums
- Jaw and bite
- Signs of decay or gum disease
- Existing restorations (like crowns or fillings)
- Oral cancer screening
If you’re due for x-rays, we’ll take those too. Our digital imaging system is quick and comfortable.
This visit is your chance to tell us about any issues or sensitivities you’ve been having. We’re here to listen.
Gentle Cleaning or Soft Tissue Check
If your gums are healthy, we’ll go ahead with a cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. If you show signs of gingivitis or gum disease, we may recommend soft tissue management instead.
Our hygienists are gentle, thorough, and happy to explain what they’re doing along the way.
Personalized Recommendations
We’ll never upsell you.
Once the exam is done, Dr. Behner will talk through your oral health and answer your questions. If any issues are found, he’ll walk you through treatment options step by step—whether it’s preventive care, dental bonding, or something cosmetic like whitening or porcelain veneers.
Transparent Pricing and Scheduling
No surprises here.
Our front desk team will go over:
- Treatment plan options
- Your insurance coverage
- Payment options
- Scheduling your next visit
We’ll also remind you of any seasonal offers or new patient specials if available.
