First Visit Expectations

Your Comfort is Our Priority: What to Expect at Your First Visit to Our Office

Your first visit is all about getting to know you and your dental needs. We’ve designed the process to be as comfortable and straightforward as possible, with every step focused on your health and confidence.

What to Expect

  1. Welcome & Health History: We'll start by getting to know you. Our friendly team will ask about your medical and dental history to understand your overall health. To make this part easy, please bring a list of any medications, vitamins, and supplements you are currently taking, along with their dosages. We encourage you to ask any questions you have—we're here to help!
  2. Dental Health Scan & Comprehensive Oral Exam: We'll perform a thorough examination to assess your dental health. This may include:
    • Digital X-rays for a detailed look at your teeth, roots, and jawbone.
    • Periodontal probing to check for signs of gum disease.
    • Oral cancer screening using a non-invasive technique.
    • Charting your existing fillings and restorations.
  3. Personalized Treatment Plan: After your exam, your dentist will review the findings with you. We'll discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan that fits your needs, timeline, and budget.
  4. Cleaning & Next Steps: If your gums are healthy, we'll perform a routine cleaning during this visit. If we find signs of gum disease, we'll discuss a more specialized cleaning and reschedule that portion of your visit to ensure you receive the best care.

We also offer various payment options and can help you prioritize treatments, making it easy and affordable to achieve a healthy, functional smile you love.

First Visit Dental Health Scan

with the itero 5d+

Behold our favorite piece of technology at Stokke Family Dentistry…the iTero 5D+! This video shows a scan of Dr. Stokke’s mouth as she walks though some of the iTero 5D+’s capabilities.

Every new patient who visits our office will receive this same scan on the house! This helps us stay ahead of potential dental issues before they become major problems, saving you time and money. Come in and check it out for yourself!

relationship-based care

At Stokke Family Dentistry, we treat every patient like family. Our warm and welcoming staff takes time to get to know our patients, building genuine relationships while providing excellent dental care.

We are not a dental office that runs patients through our practice. Instead, Dr. Stokke takes the time to meet one-on-one with every patient, every time they come in. Visit Stokke Family Dentistry and experience what true, “family” dentistry feels like.

relaxing atmosphere

You may not associate comfort with the dentist, but at Stokke Family Dentistry, now you can. We work hard to ensure our patients feel at home while they’re with us. We have a full suite of patient amenities to keep you relaxed and entertained from our lobby to our treatment rooms.

  • Beverage Station
  • Blankets
