One of the things that sets our office apart from other dental offices is our commitment to getting to know you as a person, not just a patient. On your first visit, you will meet with our patient coordinator, discuss your current dental needs in a private consultation room and then go to a serene, relaxing treatment room to start your new patient experience. A full series of digital photos will be taken, digital x-rays (if needed) will also be performed and our hygienist will perform a complete periodontal exam. Dr. Patel will then perform a comprehensive exam, complimentary oral cancer screening and spend time with you reviewing the findings. Many patients complain that their previous dentist never spent any time with them and he/she was in and out of their check-up appointment without so much as a word to them. That will never be the case at Dentistry at East Piedmont. We are dedicated to creating a positive experience every time and with every patient.
