Your First Visit to Woodland Hills Family Dentistry
Your first visit sets the foundation for a long-term relationship. Here's exactly what to expect — and how to make the most of your time with us.
Your First Visit, Made Simple
A first visit at Woodland Hills Family Dentistry usually takes about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes and covers a complete exam, digital X-rays, and a personalized treatment plan, often with treatment done the same day. Because we keep room open in our daily schedule, we can frequently begin care on the same day as your consultation, so patients who arrive in pain or with an infection get relief as quickly as possible.
New patients can also take advantage of our New Patient Special, which includes a thorough exam, complete digital X-rays, a personalized treatment plan, and a cleaning for qualified patients. Whenever you feel ready to move forward, our caring team handles every detail and makes sure you're completely comfortable, with no pressure to decide before the moment feels right for you.
Step-by-Step: Your First Appointment
Your first appointment is a thoughtful, unhurried experience designed to help us truly understand you and your smile.
Book a Consultation- 01
Welcome and Registration
Our team welcomes you warmly and helps you wrap up any last paperwork. We'll field your early questions and make sure you feel settled before anything begins.
- 02
Assistant Workup
One of our clinical assistants opens with a brief, friendly conversation and captures your diagnostic images, including digital X-rays and intraoral photos. A few questions along the way help us understand what brought you in.
- 03
Doctor Review and Introduction
Your dentist reviews everything with your assistant, then steps in to say hello. We like to know you as a person first, then walk through your history and listen closely so you feel truly heard.
- 04
Examination and Diagnosis
Together we look over your images, complete a gentle hands-on exam, and explain what we found in plain, easy-to-follow language.
- 05
Treatment Discussion
We go through your options side by side, answer everything, and review consent so nothing feels unclear. From there, we'll either reserve your treatment visit or, if you prefer, begin that same day, and our team will walk you through payment and financing, including CareCredit, Sunbit, and Affirm, to fit your budget.
