The New Patient Experience

Welcoming. Relaxing. Efficient.

We are 100% committed to making your visit to our office comfortable and as easy as possible.

Arrival

Our office is in the Wikoff building, a historical Red Bank building on Maple Ave. in Red Bank. There is free parking in our lot.
We are on the second floor and accessible by elevator or stairs.
You will be immediately greeted by our front office team and offered your pick from our complimentary beverage station.
If you have not completed your new patient paperwork before your appointment, we will begin that process.
Our office has a 5-minute rule: patients do not wait more than 5 minutes to be seated.

The Cleaning

One of our amazing hygienists will come to the reception area to greet you and take you back for a short tour of the office.
After the tour, your hygienist will seat you in your private treatment area and provide you with protective eyewear and your choice of TV entertainment.
The appointment process will include:
- A brief discussion about your current oral health.
- A full mouth series of Digital X-rays (Digital X-rays are less invasive, more comfortable, and use 90% less radiation!).
- A Pain-Free Periodontal Probing to determine your gum health.
- A thorough and extremely gentle teeth cleaning.
After the cleaning is complete, your hygienist will schedule your next routine hygiene appointment and present you with your very own goodie bag. Once this is complete, we will call the doctor into your private treatment area.

Your Doctor Consultation

Your hygienist will advise the dentist of any concerns or findings.
Your dentist will then perform an oral cancer screening.
Your dentist will then review your dental chart with the hygienist and advise you of any necessary treatment needed.
If you would like a cosmetic consultation, just ask! Your dentist will be happy to discuss all of your options.
Remember, our office does not do high-pressure selling!

Wrapping up the Appointment

Once the visit is complete your hygienist will then escort you to the front desk to schedule any further treatment, satisfy any patient financial responsibilities, and finalize your appointment.
Feel free to grab a complimentary beverage on your way out!
