New patients
Your first visit, step by step
Plan on about an hour. You don't need a referral from your dentist.

Step 1: A talk first
Dr. Bhargava asks what you'd like to change and what worries you, before anyone looks in your mouth.
- 02
Step 2: An exam and a scan
She looks at your teeth, gums and bite. A handheld scanner takes pictures of your teeth, and photos follow. X-rays are taken only if she needs them.

Step 3: The plan, in writing
She explains which treatments could work, what each one asks of you and how long it may take, in a range. You take a copy home.

Step 4: A written estimate
Toya gives you an estimate in writing, and checks your plan's orthodontic benefit with you if you have one.
Before you come
Forms, teens and what to bring
Forms
Fill in your health history on the practice's private patient portal before the visit, and not by email or in the contact form. The office sends your link when you book.
Teens
Teens under 19 come with a parent or guardian, who signs the forms. Adults come on their own.
What to bring
Your insurance card if you have one, notes or X-rays from your general dentist if you have them, and your dentist's name.
