A Friendly Guide for Patients in North Central WV

Visiting a new dentist can feel a little scary — and that’s completely normal. At All Smiles Dental, our team is here to make your first visit easy, comfortable, and even enjoyable. We use compassion, communication, and the latest dental technology to make sure every patient feels right at home.

If you’re planning your first appointment with us, here’s a simple walkthrough of exactly what you can expect.

⭐ 1. A Warm, Friendly Welcome

From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by smiling faces. Our front desk team will help you sign in, answer any questions, and make sure you feel relaxed.

We keep wait times short — most patients are checked in and seated in just a few minutes.

⭐ 2. A Comfortable, Stress-Free Check-In

We know paperwork can be stressful, so we make it fast and simple. If you prefer, you can fill out forms ahead of time online.

Our team will:

Review your dental history
Discuss any concerns
Make sure we understand your goals and actually take the time to listen

Whether you haven’t seen a dentist in a year… or ten years… you are always welcome here. No judgment ever.

⭐ 3. A Thorough, Gentle Dental Exam

Your dentist will take a close look at your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We take our time — not to rush you — and we explain everything step by step.

Your exam may include:

Low-radiation digital X-rays (quick & comfortable)
A full mouth evaluation
Oral cancer screening
Bite and jaw assessment

We use the latest technology so the visit is faster, more accurate, and more comfortable.

⭐ 4. The Most Comfortable Cleaning You Ever Had

Most new patients receive a gentle cleaning during their first visit (unless there’s a medical reason to do it later).

Your hygienist will:

Remove plaque & tartar
Clean around the gumline
Polish your teeth
Give tips for brushing & flossing

Many patients say their teeth have never felt cleaner after their visit.

⭐ 5. A Clear, Easy-to-Understand Custom Treatment Plan

After your exam, your dentist will explain:

What we found
Any treatment you might need
What needs attention now vs. what can wait
How we can help you reach your goals
All Your options and costs

We explain everything in plain, simple English — no confusing dental jargon.

Questions? Ask as many as you want. We love helping patients understand their oral health.

⭐ 6. Up-Front Pricing & Insurance Made Simple

No one likes suprise bills. Dental costs shouldn’t be confusing.

Our team will:

Verify your insurance benefits
Explain your benefits
Review costs BEFORE treatment
Help you find affordable options

Our commitment is to our patients and are not limited to most insurance contracts but we areextremly insurance friendly and offer The ALL SMILES DENTAL SAVINGS PLAN for patients without insurance too.
