Welcome, New Dental Patients in Edina

Your First Visit Made Easy

First Visit Experience

“ I never learned so much about my teeth!” – P.N.

 

New dental patients in Edina will feel prioritized from the moment you call us to the end of your first visit. Why? The more we know about you and your smile, the better we can educate and empower you to take charge of your own oral health. We are here to guide, support, and encourage you, but ultimately, all choices regarding your oral health are up to you.

If you’re one of our new dental patients in Edina seeking optimal health and a beautiful smile, you’ve come to the right place! Since this first visit is so important, it may take a little longer than usual. Please plan to set aside about 90 minutes for your appointment, it’s complete, and we promise you won’t regret it!

When you arrive as one of our new dental patients in Edina, a team member will greet you, offer to take your coat, and provide you with a choice of coffee, tea, water, or juice, just let us know what you’d like. You’ll also get a tour of the office before sitting down with us for a friendly chat.

While we review your paperwork and medical history, we also take the time to get to know you and make you feel welcome that’s why this first visit is special for our new dental patients in Edina. This helps us create a treatment plan that’s perfectly tailored to your needs. We also encourage you to share your previous dental experiences with us so we can offer the best care moving forward.

Every smile is unique, and we’re excited to learn all about our new dental patients in Edina!

Our complete exams for our new dental patients in Edina are our first introduction to your oral health. We thoroughly analyze your teeth, gums, mouth, jaw, head, and neck to ensure we can recommend a customized treatment plan. To help you prepare for your visit and understand what to expect, check out this guide on what happens during your first dental appointment. It covers everything from the initial greeting to the comprehensive exam and helps you feel more at ease.

But don’t worry! Nothing about these initial exams is tedious or boring. Many of our new dental patients in Edina often express how much they learn about their oral health. Plus, with the addition of our AI software, patients love seeing a detailed, up-close view of what’s happening in their mouths!

Understanding that catching potential problems such as cavities, periodontal disease, or abnormalities in tooth structure at an early stage provides a significant advantage for our new dental patients in Edina. Early intervention allows us to focus on your long-term needs and determine the best approach to keep you healthy with minimal work over time.

If your needs are straightforward, we can often provide a treatment plan during the initial visit. In other cases, Dr. Brandenburg may take some time to evaluate your case thoroughly, explore options, and invite you back for a follow-up consultation.

Your cleaning will be scheduled for your next visit. In the future, your exams and cleanings will be combined, but we separate them for our new dental patients in Edina during the first visit. This allows us to thoroughly assess your health, gather essential data, and create a strong baseline for all future appointments including a personalized approach to your cleaning!

Here’s what we’ll review during your first visit to our office :

  • Dialogue on your needs, concerns, and desires
  • Review, in your own words, of your dental history
  • Digital x-rays, digital photos, intra-oral camera exam
  • Periodontal exam and pocket measurements
  • Oral cancer screening
  • TMD/ headache assessment
  • Cosmetic consultation
  • Sleep disorders education
  • Discussions on how we help you keep your dentistry affordable
