Day of Your Appointment

We’ll work with you to get as much info as possible before coming into the office so that your visit is efficient. We are almost 100% paperless so all forms will be submitted through our online portal. This includes: insurance information, new patient forms, dental history, etc.

During the Appointment

We’ll review your x-rays with you and provide you with digestible information so that you feel in control of your dental health. Dr. Tabaraie facilitates an open discussion so that your visit is a two-way relationship. You’ll always be provided with all of your options and expert advice to help make the best treatment decisions for you.

Your first visit may include a cleaning based on your gum evaluation along with intra-oral pictures, with a no-radiation camera, to get the most accurate view of your current oral health. We’ll discuss various options with you based on your situation.

If there isn’t enough time to answer all of the questions that may arise or if you need additional time to decide, we can schedule a follow-up free of charge.

Time Expectation

Please allow up to 2 hours for your first visit.

“I needed some major stuff done to my teeth and was concerned because I knew it was going to cost a lot, so prior to even becoming a patient I emailed Shokofeh about financing and some other questions. Within five minutes she responded back. She offered me some really good options so I could avoid massive financial pain. And she gave me a few pathways to choose from… That was the best part, I was like, “Okay.” It definitely made me comfortable with my decision to become a patient.”
