Welcome to Gateway Dental – Your First Step to a Healthier Smile
Our friendly and professional team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that you feel confident and well-informed about your dental care. Here’s what you can expect during your first visit with us.

Here is What you Should Bring for your First Visit?

  • To start, we need your teeth! Including fake teeth, bridges, retainers and any other dental items you may use. We will also need:
  • - Photo ID and insurance cards
  • - If you have any recent dental X-Rays within 6 months.
  • - All information detailing the history of your medical and dental health
  • - Current Medications you are taking
  • - A plan to pay for co-pays and any out of pocket costs
  • Want to save time? Fill out the first-time paperwork before your appointment

What to expect during Your First Visit?

  • Your first visit will include a thorough dental examination by one of our experienced dentists. This exam is designed to assess your overall oral health and identify any potential issues. The examination will typically include:
  • Digital X-Rays: We may take digital X-rays to get a complete view of your teeth, bones, and surrounding structures. This helps us detect any underlying issues that may not be visible during a visual exam.
  • Oral Cancer Screening: As part of our commitment to your overall health, we’ll perform an oral cancer screening to check for any signs of abnormal tissue.
  • Gum Health Evaluation: We’ll assess the health of your gums to determine if there are any signs of gum disease or inflammation.
  • Tooth-by-Tooth Inspection: Our dentist will carefully examine each tooth, looking for signs of decay, cracks, or other issues that may need attention.
