At Century Dental, we customize your dental care to meet your unique oral health needs and goals. That means no two visits are the same.

What Questions to Ask
If you have past x-rays or information about a previous dental condition, you can ask your new dentist if the situation has improved or if you need additional care. You can also ask about our various treatment options or anything you’d like.
We love welcoming new patients to our dental practice and answering their questions. We want you to be educated about your oral health and encourage you to ask away!
Your Initial Dental Exam
Your initial exam includes an oral cancer screening. We also do a periodontal check and typically take a new series of x-rays to get you started. You may relax for a gentle but thorough teeth cleaning if time allows.
What Happens Next
If your dentist finds any issues during your exam, we’ll talk to you about the treatment options so you can make an informed choice about further care. If no problems are found, we typically schedule you to revisit us in six months.
