Our Dental Services
Our services
What to expect during your first visit to our office
Our Administrative Team is here to answer your calls, welcome you to Iris Dentistry with warm smiles, collect your health information (as so much of your overall health is connected to your oral health), assist you with understanding your insurance, submitting claims, and more!
They are your first point of contact for all you care needs. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. We are all here to help you improve and maintain your oral health.
Hygiene Team
Our hygienists are trained healthcare professionals who are incredible sources of information on your oral health.
At your first appointment, we typically take about 20-30 minutes longer than a regular hygiene appointment because we take unrushed time to get to know you well. Your hygienist will review your health history with you and discuss how medications may affect your oral health. After a thorough examination and oral cancer screening, they will take a few x-rays and pictures. They will also clean and polish your teeth. When it’s all done, they will talk about your dental needs, wants, and desires. Your hygienist will be an integral part of your ongoing care.
Dental Exam
Once your time with your hygienist is over, they will invite Dr. Iris to join you in the hygiene room and review their findings with the doctor. Dr. Iris will perform another exam and when complete, together you will discuss all the findings and determine the way forward.
Dr. Iris will complete a treatment plan with a personalized approach based on your needs. Goals will be set and we will work with you with respect, compassion, and gentleness to reach our common goals.
Practice Tour
A rather large percentage of people have fear or anxiety related to dental visits. That’s why we offer the option of a practice tour before your first visit. We have found that when anxious patients have a chance to meet us and experience our calm environment, they feel much better when they do come in for their first appointment. If you are someone who is nervous about your dental care, please give us a call, come and meet us, and talk with us about your fears. We are trained to help you get the care you need, want and deserve.
