First Visit Expectations

You’ll get your first taste of our superior standard of support during your first visit to our dental clinic. Expect your first consultation to take a little longer than usual so that our team can get to know you and gather the information they need to give you the best possible care!

If you’re like most patients, you’d prefer to know what to expect before going to the dentist.

Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect on your first visit to Lake Oswego Smiles.

Let's start getting to know one another!

Your initial visit is an opportunity for you to get to know our team as well as for us to get to know you. We urge you to ask more questions, voice your worries, and share everything you want us to know during our time together so that we can make your care as unique as you are.

Assessing your medical history is a part of getting to know you and delivering safe, individualized care. You will be requested to give a list of your medications and their dosages because certain health conditions and diseases can influence your treatment methods (including vitamins and supplements).

You're In Competent Hands

Don’t be concerned if you haven’t seen a dentist in a while. You’ve made a big decision; there’s no reason to feel bad about it!

Our team will discuss their findings with you after your exam is completed. You and your dentist can work together to develop a healthy, individualized treatment plan that matches your oral and personal needs. We can prioritize and schedule your treatments so that you have the smile you want in a reasonable amount of time.

Finally, we would like you to know that we will go out of our way to make you feel at ease and secure. We care about your emotional well-being as well as your physical well-being.

So come in, sit, and relax — we’ll take care of the rest.
