First Appointment
We’re looking forward to your upcoming appointment, which will begin with our digital registration process. If you’re not comfortable using a computer, paper forms are also available.
While you may already have an idea of the treatment you’re seeking, the Minnesota Board of Dentistry requires our doctors to make their own diagnosis and present appropriate treatment options. To do this, the treating dentist will perform a limited exam to evaluate your condition.
Please note that a clinical exam can only detect what is visible. It may not reveal issues such as bone infections or damage beneath the gum line or between the teeth. For a more accurate diagnosis, X-rays will also be required.
We kindly ask all patients to make financial arrangements for any services provided. As a courtesy to those with dental insurance, we will submit claims for completed services based on the insurance information you provide. We work with a wide range of dental plans from many different carriers.

Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control—you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with one of our dentists and receive a straightforward answer.
Our doctors and team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.
The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
