First Visit
Premier Dental Team: Efficient, Expert Care
Your First Visit
Dr. Justin Craighead and Dr. Ada Parra are proud to provide comprehensive dental care for our patients. We offer services in general, cosmetic, implant, periodontal, and prosthodontic dentistry. Whether you are looking for a periodontist in Gainesville, FL, or just need routine preventive care, our office is equipped to improve and maintain your oral health. Our staff is compassionate, efficient, and talented. We strive to create a friendly atmosphere that provides effective dental care without sacrificing convenience. Though we are specialists who also provide general services, you do not need a referral to see us.
On Your First Dental Visit
When you first walk into our office, expect to be greeted by one of our talented team members. For your comfort, we provide a relaxing environment complete with Starbucks coffee. Dr. Craighead or Dr. Parra will perform a thorough examination, which will include the following:
- Digital, low radiation x-rays
- Oral cancer screening
- Assessment of your dental and periodontal health, identifying any signs of tooth decay or gum disease
- TMJ evaluation
During this visit, please let us know if there is anything you would like to do to improve the appearance of your smile. We will inform you of any problems with your oral health and thoroughly discuss your treatment options, if necessary. Many patients choose to schedule a cleaning to immediately follow the first examination.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
We encourage all patients to bring along insurance cards, a list of current medications, and any recent x-rays or referrals from another office. Please also download, print, review, and fill out the following patient forms.
