New Patients
A welcoming start to your dental care in San Francisco.
Whether you're new to the city, considering a different dentist, or returning to care after time away — we'll make the first visit straightforward and unhurried.
Your First Visit
What to expect
Your first visit typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. We use this time to understand your dental history, examine your teeth and gums carefully, take any imaging that's needed, and have a real conversation about what you're looking for in dental care.
You won't be rushed into treatment. We'll explain what we see, lay out your options clearly, and give you time to ask questions and decide what makes sense for you.
What to bring
Helpful to have on hand
- Photo ID
- Dental insurance card (if applicable)
- List of current medications

- Names of any specialists you're seeing
- Questions or concerns about your dental health
