New patients
Your first visit is a conversation, an exam and a scan, and you leave with the options and the fee in writing. Nothing is started that day unless you ask.
Your first visit
About an hour and a half.

Step 1: Before you come

Step 2: The talk
Dr. Clemons asks what you want. You say how long the gap has bothered you, what you have tried and what worries you.

Step 3: The exam and scan
An exam of your teeth and gums, and a 3D scan of the gap. She shows you the scan on the screen.

Step 4: The options
She goes through an implant, a bridge, a partial denture and waiting, and says which she would choose for her own mouth and why.

Step 5: The estimate
