Your First Visit at Knoxville Dental Associates

At Knoxville Dental Associates, we want your first visit to feel comfortable, stress-free, and informative. From the moment you walk through our doors, our team is here to answer your questions and guide you through every step. We believe the first appointment is the foundation for building trust and creating a personalized treatment plan that supports your long-term oral health.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your first dental visit is tailored to your needs, but typically includes several important steps:

  1. Medical & Dental History Review – Your dentist will go over your health history and past dental experiences. This helps us understand your overall health and customize your care.
  2. Comprehensive Exam – We’ll evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues. An oral cancer screening is also included.
  3. Diagnostics & X-Rays – Digital X-rays or panoramic imaging may be taken to evaluate tooth roots, bone health, and areas that cannot be seen during the visual exam.
  4. Discussion & Treatment Options – After the evaluation, your dentist will explain the findings and present treatment recommendations. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and review options before deciding how to proceed.

This appointment usually lasts about 90 minutes, giving us time to perform a thorough assessment and create a plan that works best for you.
