# What to Expect in Your First Visit
Starting your journey with a new dental practice can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect can help ease any anxiety. At SmileBright Dental, we've designed our first visit experience to be welcoming, thorough, and stress-free.
## Before Your Appointment
When you book your first appointment, our friendly staff will ask you some basic questions about your dental history and any current concerns. We'll also send you some forms to fill out beforehand, which you can complete online to save time.
## Arriving at the Clinic
When you arrive, you'll be greeted by our reception team in our modern, comfortable waiting area. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early for your first visit to complete any remaining paperwork.
## The Initial Consultation
Your first visit typically includes:
### 1. Medical History Review
We'll discuss your overall health, any medications you're taking, and previous dental experiences. This helps us provide the safest and most effective care.
### 2. Comprehensive Examination
Our dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. We use the latest technology to ensure nothing is missed.
### 3. X-rays (if needed)
Digital X-rays help us see what's happening beneath the surface. They're quick, comfortable, and use minimal radiation.
### 4. Discussion and Treatment Plan
We'll explain our findings in clear, easy-to-understand terms and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
