Your First Dental Visit

We will help make your first visit the best ever. Comfort and relaxation are the words that will to come to mind when you visit Bethesda Sedation Dentistry. If you need a little extra support for your first visit, we will welcome the friend or family member who accompanies you. Remember to complete your new patient forms and bring them along.

As your trusted dental care providers, our first objective is to meet and greet you, then learn how we can help you. Your goals for good oral health are extremely important. Surrounded by comfort and elegance, you and your dentist will chat before beginning an evaluation of your dental health.

If it is appropriate, the dentist will take a full series of digital X-rays with safe and accurate digital radiography, so you'll have less exposure to radiation. After gathering records, the dentist will thoroughly evaluate your teeth and gums. This is a time for co-discovery. You will see and understand everything that we see on intraoral camera images projecten on a convenient, chairside monitor.

After the evaluation, you will have a wealth of information. The dentists usually prefer to meet with patients for a follow up consultation, at which time you will receive a treatment plan that reflects your goals and financial plans. Additional questions or concerns will be addressed at the consultation.

Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Klotz, and Dr. Schlossberg want to help you on your journey to great oral health and a happy, healthy, confident smile. Our team is dedicated to providing you with excellent dental care in a comfortable, peaceful environment.
