What to Expect as a New Patient

Your first visit gives our team time to get to know you, your oral health, and your goals. Some new patients visit us for a routine exam and cleaning. Others come in because of tooth pain, a broken tooth, missing teeth, cosmetic concerns, or questions about treatment they have been considering.
During your visit, we may review your health history, discuss any concerns, evaluate your teeth and gums, and talk through recommended next steps. If treatment is needed, Dr. Riggio will explain what he sees and help you understand your options in a clear, straightforward way.
If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, please let us know. Our goal is to make your visit feel personal, transparent, and comfortable.
