Your First Visit to Elevated Dental

Taking the first step toward better dental health can feel overwhelming – especially if it's been a while since your last visit or if you've had uncomfortable experiences in the past. At Elevated Dental, we understand these feelings completely, and we've designed your first visit to be everything a dental appointment should be: thorough, comfortable, and focused entirely on you.

You're in Safe Hands

When you choose Elevated Dental, you're choosing a practice where Dr. Patel has dedicated his career to one simple principle: "We do as much as the child lets us do, never more." This gentle philosophy guides every interaction we have, whether you're 5 or 95. We believe that trust is earned through patience, understanding, and genuine care for your comfort.

We Listen First

Before we even look at your teeth, Dr. Patel wants to hear your story. What brings you in today? Are you experiencing pain? Feeling self-conscious about your smile? Worried about an old filling? Or maybe you're just ready to take better care of your health? Whatever your reason, we're here to listen without judgment and address your concerns with compassion.

We Show You What We See

Unlike traditional dental visits where you're left wondering what's happening, Dr. Patel will walk you through every finding on your comprehensive scans. "Patients are not used to seeing a full skull scan when they visit the dentist," he explains, "but it's a game-changer in helping them understand the relationship between their teeth and their overall health." You'll see exactly what we see and understand why each recommendation matters for your long-term wellness.

We Respect Your Pace

There's no pressure here. If you're nervous, we'll take extra time. If you have questions, we'll answer every one. If you need to stop for a break, that's perfectly fine. Your comfort – both physical and emotional – is our top priority.

What to Bring to Feel Prepared

We want you to feel confident and prepared for your visit:

Essential Items:

Photo ID and dental insurance card
List of current medications (including vitamins and supplements)
Any dental records or X-rays from your previous dentist
Your completed new patient forms (you can fill these out online to save time)

For Your Peace of Mind

A list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss – no concern is too small
If you're feeling anxious, bring headphones or anything that helps you feel calm
Payment information for any co-pays (we'll explain all costs before any treatment)

What to Expect

Your Welcome Experience

Our Georgetown team will greet you warmly and help you settle in. Grab a beverage from our complimentary bar, choose something to watch on Netflix, and let us know how we can make you most comfortable. If you're bringing children, they'll feel right at home in our dedicated play area.

Your Comprehensive Examination

Dr. Patel will conduct the same thorough examination he provided to professional athletes – advanced CBCT imaging that reveals problems years before they become painful, bite analysis to understand how your teeth work together, and a complete health assessment that looks at the connection between your oral health and overall wellness.

Your Personalized Discussion

Together, we'll discuss what we found and what it means for you. Dr. Patel will explain everything in terms that make sense, show you exactly what he's seeing, and help you understand how addressing these issues can improve not just your smile, but potentially your energy, sleep, and overall quality of life.

Your Next Steps

We'll work together to create a treatment plan that fits your needs, timeline, and budget. There's never any pressure to decide on the spot – take the time you need to feel confident in your choices.
