Choosing a new dentist is easier when you know exactly what the first appointment involves, and what it costs. Our $99 new patient offer was designed to remove both unknowns. Here is the visit, step by step.
A thorough exam and personal consultation
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and bite, and, just as important, listens. Your goals for your smile shape the plan.
Digital x-rays
Necessary digital x-rays give us a clear picture beneath the surface, on screen in seconds.
A close-up tour of your own mouth
Using an intraoral camera, we show you what we see on the chairside monitor, every recommendation explained with evidence you can look at yourself.
Gum disease and oral cancer screening
Both screenings are included. Oral cancer screening takes minutes and matters enormously, early detection is everything.
Your cleaning
You’ll receive a professional dental cleaning in the absence of periodontal disease and gum infection; for periodontal patients, the offer is credited toward periodontal treatment instead, so the value is never lost.
No insurance? This is built for you
The offer is an excellent way to get established with quality care without high upfront costs, and our in-house dental discount plan can keep it affordable afterward. This offer cannot be combined with other offers.
Your visit, minute by minute
You walk in and are greeted by name. If you completed your forms online, check-in takes a moment; if not, the paperwork is short and our front desk helps with anything confusing. Next come digital x-rays, on screen in seconds. Then your cleaning: a hygienist removes the buildup your toothbrush cannot reach and polishes everything smooth. Your dentist then examines your teeth, your gums, and your existing dental work, and screens for oral cancer, a quick check that takes minutes and matters enormously. Finally, the conversation: what we found, in plain words, with your questions answered before anything else is planned.
What this visit is not
It is not a bait and switch. The $99 covers everything listed: exam, x-rays, cleaning, gum evaluation and oral cancer screening. If your mouth needs nothing more, that is exactly what we will tell you, and we will be glad about it. If something does need attention, you will hear what, why, and what it involves before any decision is made. You stay in control of every next step. That is not a sales technique; it is simply how care should work.
What happens to what we find
Every first visit ends the same way: with you understanding your own mouth better than you did that morning. If everything looks healthy, you will hear exactly that, along with when to come back and nothing more. If we find something small, you will learn how small, what happens if it waits, and what fixing it involves. If we find something bigger, you will get the full picture in plain language, your options laid out side by side, and time to think. Your x-rays and exam results belong to your record and to you. No mystery, no pressure, no homework you did not ask for. Just an honest map of where things stand, drawn by people who plan to know your smile for years.
Who this visit is for
New neighbors who just moved to Linden. Families who want one office for every age. Anyone whose last checkup was longer ago than they would like to admit; you will find zero judgment here, only a fresh starting point. And the nervous: tell us when you book, and we will plan your comfort from the first minute. This visit was designed to lower every barrier we could think of.
Why we run this offer at all
Simple: the hardest appointment for most people is the first one. Cost worries, fear of judgment, fear of what might be found. The $99 visit removes the cost question entirely and answers the others with how we treat you once you arrive. Practices grow on trust, and trust starts with a first visit that feels fair. Nearly seven decades in Linden taught us that lesson well.
A note about insurance
Have dental insurance? Our team will gladly help you understand your benefits, and your plan may cover preventive visits like this one. Not insured? That is exactly what the $99 offer is for. Either way, you will know where you stand before anything is decided, because clarity about money is part of good care too.
Questions worth bringing
Write down anything you have wondered about your mouth: the tooth that twinges with cold, the snoring, the old crown, whether whitening would work for you. First visits are the perfect time for honest answers, and no question is too small. The patients who get the most from their care are the ones who ask.
After your visit
You leave with clean teeth, a clear picture of your oral health, and zero pressure. If a follow-up makes sense, we will map it out together, on your schedule and your budget, with flexible payment options if you need them. Most new patients tell us the same thing on the way out: that was easier than I expected.
