Step 1: Your Appointment

 

When you arrive, our friendly team will greet you, check you in, notify your oral health team of your arrival, verify insurance if applicable, and guide you through any necessary new patient paperwork. You can save time by completing the new patient forms in your appointment confirmation email before you arrive.

Once completed, a team member will escort you from the waiting room to a treatment room, where they will review your dental history, medical history, and any dental health concerns or issues. The Dental Assistant will take X-rays, allowing us to examine the jaw’s structure, teeth position, and tooth condition.

Step 2: Your Exam

 

As a new patient, your initial comprehensive exam will last approximately one hour. This visit will help us get acquainted with each other and learn about your goals for your dental treatment. Upon completion of your examination and review of X-rays, we will review the findings and results with you. Our practice focuses on technology and has the advantage of an intraoral camera to give you a 3-D video tour concerning tooth areas if needed. Our Dentist will discuss recommendations and procedures and outline an individualized approach specific to your dental health.

Step 3: Your Hygiene Visit

 

On your first visit, you may not receive a cleaning. A cleaning may be completed after the doctor ensures it is the appropriate treatment for your specific oral health.

Our Dental Hygienists will review your mouth and gums and oral cancer screening. If appropriate, our Hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. Your Hygienist may clean your teeth manually with traditional tools or use an advanced water-powered instrument based on what is best for your specific needs. Finally, your Hygienist will review tips for caring for your teeth and preventing gum disease. Your hygiene exam should take about 45 minutes, and you will leave with a toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste to keep on track with your home health routine.

New Patient Forms

We know your time is valuable, and we want to make your first visit to Cityscape Dental in downtown Chicago as smooth and efficient as possible. That’s why we offer online new patient packets that can be filled out at your convenience before your appointment. By completing these forms ahead of time, you can save time and reduce your wait time in our office. The online packet includes all the necessary forms and information we need to provide you with the best possible care tailored to your unique needs.

If you are unable to complete the forms online, don’t worry. You can arrive 15 minutes before your appointment, and we’ll provide you with the necessary forms to complete in our office. We want to make your experience at Cityscape Dental as stress-free and comfortable as possible, so you can leave our office with a bright, healthy smile.
