What to Expect at Your First Visit

Visiting Infinity Smiles for the first time? Here is what happens from check-in to your treatment plan, what to bring, roughly how long to expect to be with us, and how to get ready beforehand.

Your First Visit, Step by Step

Your first appointment at Infinity Smiles is designed to be thorough without feeling rushed. Here is what typically happens, from before you arrive to the moment you leave with a plan.

  1. Before you arrive. We send your new patient forms ahead of time when we can, so you can complete them at home. See our new patient forms page for details, or just arrive a few minutes early if you have not finished them.
  2. Check-in. Our front-office team will welcome you, confirm your information, and answer any questions about your insurance or your visit.
  3. Exam and digital x-rays. We start with a comprehensive exam and digital x-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health.
  4. Cleaning, when scheduled. If a cleaning is part of your visit, our hygienist gently removes plaque and buildup and checks for any early concerns.
  5. Your treatment plan and costs. Dr. Solomon reviews what we found, answers your questions, and walks through any recommended treatment along with how to pay for it, including insurance and Cherry financing.

What to Bring

  • A valid photo ID
  • Your insurance card, if you have one
  • A list of any medications you currently take
  • Your completed new patient forms, if finished ahead of time

How Long Your Visit Will Take

Plan for a bit more time than a routine checkup, since we are getting to know your smile for the first time. The exact length can vary depending on what your exam and x-rays show, and whether a cleaning is scheduled for the same day. If you are working around a tight schedule, let our front desk know when you book, and we will do our best to plan your visit accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete paperwork before I arrive?

We send your forms ahead of time when possible, so you can fill them out at home.

If you have not completed them, just arrive a few minutes early and our team will help. Visit our new patient forms page to get started.

Will I need x-rays at my first visit?

Yes. Digital x-rays help us see a complete picture of your oral health and plan any treatment accurately.

They use significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays and are an important part of a thorough first exam.

What if I need treatment beyond a cleaning?

Dr. Solomon will explain what he finds and walk you through your options before any treatment begins.

We will also go over cost and how to pay for it, including insurance and financing. Visit our payment plans page to learn more.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment.
