NEW PATIENT EXPERIENCE
New patients may schedule with our office in four ways. Our team will be happy to help determine which type of appointment is right for you, so we can customize your experience to your needs:
New patient comprehensive exam:
This option is for anyone wanting to take a detailed look at their oral health with Dr. Shannon and may
involve 2 visits depending on the situation. We allow extra time during this visit to look at the connection your dental health has on your overall health and begin to develop a plan unique to you. This is the recommended first step to becoming a Wellspring Dental patient, so that we can have all the information we need to help build and design a lifetime of care.
New patient routine exam:
This option is for patients with no dental concerns or questions and have seen a dentist within the last year.
We are happy to begin with this more abbreviated version of a new patient visit to fit your needs. It is our hope that eventually we can go through a comprehensive exam process with all patients.
New patient limited exam:
This exam is for patients who have a specific and/or urgent dental concern. At this visit we will focus on
one area to address the immediate issue at hand, then recommend a comprehensive exam in the future.
New patient airway-only exam:
For patients who already have a dental home but would like our involvement for airway health, we are
happy to work with your existing team.
