First Visit Expectations

We Can't Wait to See You!

We recognize that most patients appreciate knowing what to expect during their first visit with us. Below is an overview of what your first visit to Purely Dental La Jolla will look like.

Our team will start your appointment by asking you some questions about your medical and

dental history. Certain medical conditions or medications can impact your treatment plan, so we will also ask you to list any medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking and their dosages.

Dr. Marnie Schreiner will then perform a comprehensive oral exam. This may include x-rays and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease (gum disease) are present, one of our hygienists will continue with a routine cleaning. If we do notice signs of

periodontal disease, we may ask you to reschedule the cleaning portion of your appointment to allow more time for a thorough cleaning.

Once your exam is complete, Dr. Marnie Schreiner will discuss her findings with you. Together, you will create a treatment plan that best fits your desires while giving you a healthy smile. If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while don’t feel  guilty! You have made an excellent decision for your oral health.
