First Visit Expectations

Feel prepared for your first visit to Totem Lake Smiles

01 Get to know you

Our team will start your appointment by asking you a few questions about your medical and dental history, so we can ensure the best level of care.

02 Exam

Our team will then conduct a comprehensive oral exam. This may include X-rays, a visual exam, a non-invasive oral cancer screening, and a periodontal exam to check for signs of gum disease.

03 Dental Plan

Once your exam is finished, Dr. Patil-Ghatkar will discuss her findings with you, and our staff will discuss our financial options.

Together, you will create a treatment plan to help you maintain a healthy, functional smile and reach your goals.
