What to Expect as a New Patient

Efficient Scheduling and Timely Appointments

Since we mentioned the schedule, one thing you will find as a new patient at Firouzian Dentistry is that we run a very efficient office. We work hard to stay on schedule. Our dental team is responsible and considerate, and our patients are, too. You can count on your appointment being when you made it for. You won’t have to wait a long time for your appointment.

Personalized Greeting

We treat every patient as a treasured member of our dental family. You’ll be greeted by name when you arrive, and our receptionist will be friendly. When a hygienist takes you back to a treatment room, they will also engage with you in friendly conversation.

At your first visit, Dr. Mike Firouzian and our staff will discuss your reasons for visiting our office. We want to know if you have any particular concerns, are looking for a specific procedure, or are just trying to find the best dental home for you and/or your family.

Thorough Examination

After he has gotten to know you a bit and has an understanding of your goals, Dr. Firouzian will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. At a minimum, this will be consistent with the best standards of a preventive dental checkup.

In addition, Dr. Firouzian might use the intraoral camera to give you a clear view of what potential issues he sees.

Finally, Dr. Firouzian might recommend additional imaging or tests based on your stated concerns or treatment goals. Depending on the timing, you might complete that imaging or tests at this visit or schedule a second appointment to take care of that.

Treatment Options

Based on your treatment goals and the results of your examination, Dr. Firouzian may offer you some treatment options. With the high level of dentistry we perform at Firouzian Dentistry, there is almost always more than one way to achieve results.

We’ll explain the benefits of each treatment option, then you can decide which one is right for you. Dr. Firouzian naturally has strong opinions about the best way to treat each dental condition, and he’ll make that clear, but the treatment decision is yours. You remain in control of your care. Often, it’s reasonable to say that you don’t want treatment now and you’d rather wait until later.

High-Quality Treatment

Once you select your treatment plan, we will schedule the appointments necessary to complete it. This is another place where you’re in control. If you need results by a certain date, we will work hard to meet that deadline. If you want to spread out treatment to make it less intensive and potentially keep it in your budget, we can do that too.

At your treatment appointments, you can count on the expertise of your dental team. Dr. Firouzian is a highly skilled dentist with extensive training and experience in many types of dental treatment. His team often trains with him, and they are themselves outstanding experts in their fields. When you get treatment at Firouzian Dentistry, you can be confident that we will complete it according to the latest and best standards in dentistry, using the best materials and tools available for the procedure you choose.

Long-Lasting Results

How long your results will last depends on your treatment decisions. For example, if you choose dental bonding, it won’t last as long as porcelain veneers. We’ll help you understand the likely durability of any treatment you choose.

However, you can be sure that our high-quality treatment helps extend the life of whatever treatment option you choose. The quality of materials we use and our outstanding execution of care will help you get the longest life for your treatment, as long as you do your part in taking proper care of your teeth and restorations.
