Big Savings Plan

This is the perfect plan for new patients without insurance and covers the key services your child will need throughout the year.

What to Expect as a New Patient

Preparing for the Big Day

It's a good idea to bring a comforting toy, a snack, and an extra diaper or two, just in case of fussiness. If possible, leave other kids at home, so the new patient can get all the attention. If not possible, bringing another adult along, however, may free your attention to focus on your child's oral health. Likewise, filling out forms in advance may save time and effort on the day of the visit.

The Checkup

When you and your child are comfortably seated in the office, a gentle examination of your child's mouth will be performed to uncover any early signs of dental problems such as tooth decay, and assess the risk that your child may develop the disease in the future. Often, this kind of risk assessment can help prevent — and even reverse — the early stages of tooth decay, without any drilling.

How do our patients feel about their experience?

"I brought my daughter in for a new patient appointment today and couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From booking to the staff helping me get prepared before the visit with appropriate paperwork to the absolute best dental visit we've ever had. Dr. Si and team have an excellent ability to put patients at ease and are very easy going and informative. One of the best healthcare providers overall that we've ever seen. We feel very blessed to have found this practice!"
