What to Expect at Your First Visit
THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
When you first walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our comfortable environment and our friendly office staff. You’ll be invited to sit down and relax as you fill out any new patient forms prior to your appointment. Once those are complete and your hygienist is ready for you, we’ll invite you back into one of our operatories.
You’ll receive a comprehensive exam, x-rays, and your doctor will determine what type of cleaning will best suit your needs, and sit down with you to discuss the results. If everything looks good, we'll perform a cleaning and you’ll be able to schedule your next appointment in the front office. If anything needs extra attention, your doctor will explain the results and take time to address any questions or concerns you might have, and he will describe any further treatment recommendations.
WHAT TO BRING
In order to help make your visit more efficient, we ask that you bring your ID, your insurance information, and any patient forms you’ve filled out prior to your appointment.

Helping People Beyond the Office
Community Outreach
Our philosophy of care goes beyond the office walls. We believe that it’s our responsibility to care for our patients, both in and out of the operating chair, and one of the best ways to do this is through our community outreach programs. We regularly serve through Watermark Urgent Care, providing dental treatment to people in Dallas. We also recently hosted Watermark Urgent Care in our office, providing cleanings to people in Watermark Church's refugee and prison ministries.
