New Patients

Welcome to SMYLE Dental Design

We know your first visit to a new dental office can feel intimidating – but at SMYLE Dental Design, our goal is to make you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. Think of this as the start of a relationship, not just an appointment. We’re here to listen, to understand your needs, and to help you feel comfortable every step of the way.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

When you arrive, our friendly team will take a few minutes to get to know you. We’ll ask about your medical and dental history, including any medications, vitamins, or supplements you’re currently taking. This helps us create the safest, most personalized care plan possible.

Next, you’ll receive a comprehensive exam that may include:

  • Digital x-rays for a clear look at your teeth and bone health
  • A gentle, non-invasive oral cancer screening
  • Periodontal probing to check your gum health
  • Charting of existing dental work
If your gums are healthy and no signs of gum disease are present, you’ll also receive a routine cleaning at this first visit. If we do notice any concerns – or if your first appointment is an emergency visit – we may schedule your cleaning for another day so we can give you the focused care you need.

Partnering in Your Care

After your exam, Dr. Zhu will sit down with you to review his findings and discuss your options. Together, you’ll create a treatment plan that reflects your priorities and helps you achieve a healthy, confident smile. We encourage you to ask questions and share your goals – your input is an essential part of the process.

Flexible Payment Options

We believe quality care should be accessible. That’s why we offer a variety of payment options and can prioritize or stagger treatments to fit your budget and schedule. Our team will walk you through everything so there are no surprises.

New Patient Forms

To save time at your first visit, please complete our New Patient Forms before arriving. If you need assistance, our team is happy to help you fill them out in the office.
