Step 1
Free Consultation with Our Dentist
Using the contact form on the website, you can send us a detailed enquiry about your needs. One of our dentists will examine your request and we will make a suggestion about the necessary interventions and inform you about the estimated cost of the treatment.
Step 2
Before the Appointment
Plan enough time off from work or school to feel less rushed or anxious about getting back. When you make your appointment, ask how long a cleaning and exam usually take, then add extra time to that. You’ll be in the dentist’s chair longer if it’s been a while since your last visit. An end-of-day appointment is a good option so you can go right home.
Step 3
Arrival to Astoria City Dental
On the day, get there early so you can fill out paperwork (or turn it in if forms are available online ahead of time) and give the staff time to set you up. Have your driver’s license and insurance card ready when you check in at the reception desk.
Step 4
Dental Exam
The visit may include a full exam of the teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues to check growth and development. The dentist may show you proper home cleaning such as flossing, and advise you on the need for fluoride. Dentist may recommend X-rays to diagnose decay, depending on your situation.
Step 5
Follow up check
Don’t be overwhelmed if the dentist finds problems. By getting this appointment done, you’re already on the way to fixing them with your dentist’s help. And if you have good dental habits after this, routine follow-up visits will be easier.
