Your First Visit at Atlanta Dental Wellness

A Conversation Before a Recommendation

Your first visit starts with listening. We review your health history, concerns, sensitivities, and goals before any recommendation. Then we complete an exam and any needed imaging, explain what we find, and give you a clear plan with options. There is no pressure to decide that day.

Before Your Visit

• Tell us about any sensitivities when you book, so we can prepare your room.

• Complete your health history, including medications, supplements, and past reactions to materials.

• Bring recent dental X-rays, lab results, or physician notes you want us to see.

• Write down your questions.

What Happens at Your First Visit

1. Welcome. Our office is fragrance-free, and we can prepare your room in advance if you have sensitivities.

2. Health-history conversation. We talk through your concerns, health history, and what you want from your care.

3. Examination. We check your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and soft tissues.

4. Imaging as needed. We take digital X-rays based on your needs, not a fixed schedule.

5. Findings and options. We explain what we see, what is urgent, what can wait, and what is optional.

6. Your plan. You receive a written plan and estimate, and time to decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

These answers address common questions patients ask about your first visit. Your examination and health history may lead to different advice for you.

• What should I expect at a biological dentist?

  Expect a longer health-history conversation, a thorough exam, imaging as needed, and a clear explanation of your options.

  Biological dentists also review material history and sensitivities before recommending treatment.

• How long is the first visit?

  Plan for a longer visit than a routine checkup, since we take time to listen and explain.

  Call 404-233-1102 and our team can tell you how long to plan for.

• Is your office fragrance-free?

  Yes. Atlanta Dental Wellness is a fragrance-free practice, and we ask team members and patients to avoid scented products.

  See our page for patients with chemical sensitivities for more on accommodations.

• Do I need X-rays at my first visit?

  We take X-rays based on your needs. If you have recent X-rays from another office, we may be able to use them.

  We use digital imaging and explain why any images are recommended.

• Will you remove my fillings at the first visit?

  No. The first visit is for evaluation and planning. Treatment, including SMART removal, is scheduled separately.

  This gives you time to review your options.

• What should I bring to my first appointment?

  Bring your health history, a list of medications and supplements, recent dental X-rays, and any relevant lab results or physician notes.

  Also bring your questions.
