New Patients
Madigan Dental is a warm, welcoming office with a friendly staff who will greet you when you walk in. If you provide us with your insurance information when you call, we’ll check your coverage ahead of time. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to fill out your new patient paperwork before your first appointment.
Getting Started
Our patients usually schedule their first visit for a checkup and cleaning. Our dental hygienist or dental assistant will meet you in the waiting area, then bring you back to a private room. You can choose a program on television or listen to music on the headphones we provide.
If you’re having a checkup and cleaning, the hygienist will clean your teeth and take X-rays. Then, you’ll meet your dentist to have a full examination of your teeth and gum health. We’ll go over your X-rays and show you pictures of your teeth so that you can see what we see. If you need further treatment, we may be able to provide it on the same day as long as time allows.
A new patient appointment takes about an hour and a half. On your way out, we’ll book you for your next visit.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment at Madigan Dental is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and informative.
Here’s what happens:
Arrival & Paperwork (10-15 minutes)
Please arrive 10 minutes early to complete paperwork.
Meet Our Team (5 minutes)
You’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk staff and escorted to a private operatory with a door. One of our dental hygienists or assistants will review your medical history and answer any initial questions.
Step 3: Comprehensive Exam (30-45 minutes)
Dr. Mahajan will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and overall oral health. If needed, we’ll take digital x-rays to get a complete picture of what’s happening below the surface.
Treatment Plan Discussion (10-20 minutes)
Dr. Mahajan will explain her findings in plain language, answer all your questions, and discuss any recommended treatment. If you need treatment, we’ll create a personalized plan with a timeline and cost breakdown. There’s never pressure to proceed immediately.
Cleaning (if time allows)
If your schedule permits and no urgent treatment is needed, we may complete a cleaning during your first visit.
