first-visit dental care

Preparing for Your First Visit

When you arrive for your first visit to Little Rock Dentists, please be prepared to complete all insurance and health information forms that will allow us to begin your dental treatment. We will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office.

Your initial exam will last approximately one and a half hours. This appointment will consist of a comprehensive exam (a patient exam that may include interviewing the patient, observation, examination, and use of specific tests that allow the dentist to diagnose existing conditions), which includes checking each tooth individually, taking full-mouth X-rays or bitewing X-rays, panoramic X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.

Oral hygiene instructions will be provided along with suggestions to help you care for your teeth. In most cases, we will also clean your teeth on this visit and provide an evaluation and radiographs that will outline your existing dental problems and proposed treatment.

If you seem to be having an issue with one tooth, we will schedule you for a “Limited PA,” which means you will come in for an exam of the specified tooth as well as a periapical x-ray. At this point, Dr. Gregory L. Stafford and Dr. Caleb Crow will diagnose which treatment would be best for you.
