Stepping into a new dental office can feel overwhelming, especially if it's been a while since your last visit. At West Augusta Dental Associates, we hear these questions daily from nervous patients walking through our doors. Let's address your concerns with honest, straightforward answers.

What to Expect:

  • Comprehensive health review - We'll discuss your medical history and any concerns you have
  • Gentle examination - Our dentists will assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health
  • Digital x-rays - Using advanced technology that reduces radiation exposure by 90%
  • Personalized treatment plan - We'll explain any findings and discuss your options
  • No judgment zone - Whether it's been months or years, we meet you where you are

"Will it hurt?" This is the number one question we hear. Modern dentistry has come incredibly far. During your initial exam, we're simply looking and assessing - no drilling, no discomfort. Our team uses gentle techniques, and if you need future treatment, we'll discuss comfort options beforehand.

"What if I haven't been to the dentist in years?" You're not alone, and you won't face any judgment from our team. After 50 years of serving Augusta families, we've seen it all. We're genuinely excited to help you get back on track with your oral health, regardless of your starting point.

"How long will my appointment take?" We'll take the time needed to thoroughly address your concerns, without rushing. We'll review your x-rays together, discuss any concerns, and create a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.

"What should I bring?" Just bring your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any questions you have written down. We'll handle the rest.

"Will you try to sell me expensive treatments?" Never. We believe in transparent communication and will always explain why we recommend certain treatments. You'll never feel pressured - we want you to make informed decisions about your dental health.
