What it is

This is the visit most people put off. It’s an hour: a set of x-rays, a look at every tooth and your gums, and a cleaning by Marisol. You leave with a printed list of anything we found, what it would cost, and what happens if you wait.

Most people need nothing more than the cleaning. If you do need something, nobody will pressure you to do it today.

Covered in full by nearly every dental plan we’re in network with. Without insurance the Haven Plan covers two of these a year.

What happens

  1. X-rays

    Digital, low-dose, about five minutes. We skip them if you’ve had a set in the last year and can send it over.

  2. Exam

    One of the dentists checks every tooth, your gums, your bite and your jaw, and screens for oral cancer.

  3. Cleaning

    Plaque and tartar removed, teeth polished. If it’s been a while, it may take two visits — we’ll say so before we start.

  4. The plan

    You get a written list of anything that needs attention, with a price beside each item. No list is the good outcome.

“I hadn’t been to a dentist in six years and was braced for a lecture. Got none. Got a plan, a price, and two fillings done the same week.”
