We’ll be excited to welcome you!
New Patients
Hygiene
At your first appointment, we take the time to get to know you and everything about your teeth, gums, and mouth to see a clear picture of your oral health needs and concerns. Because of this, we will spend a little extra time than we do with your maintenance hygiene appointments. We’ll also create a mouth-map that we’ll use to track changes over time. We’ll assess for any jaw joint issues and do a screening for oral cancer. Please take advantage of this appointment by asking any questions you have about homecare. Your hygienist is an expert in patient education and will happily give you all the help you need to take the best care of your smile.
Diagnostics
Used to check for issues and to establish a baseline for future care, digital diagnostic equipment is adjustable to emit up to 90% less radiation than with film x-rays and it’s much more environmentally friendly. At Pacifica Dental, we also use a small pen-sized camera – called an intraoral camera – so that we can show you what we see when we examine your mouth. It’s an amazing tool that gives you great insight into your dental treatment plan.
Checkup
Meet Dr. Cristina Coca or Dr. Bogdan Coca and discuss your personal oral health needs and desires. After a thorough examination, one of the Drs. Coca will discuss their findings with you and determine the personalized approach that will work best for you. We’ll set up a regular care schedule, design a treatment plan, and if you’re interested, discuss your cosmetic options. We will work with you to help you meet your dental health goals.
