What You Can Expect
Your First Visit Experience
Your initial visit with us is all about understanding your unique needs and establishing a foundation for personalized care.

Dr. Ramina will spend quality time discussing your dental goals, concerns, and any anxieties you may have. Our comprehensive examination includes detailed imaging, oral cancer screening, and a thoughtful evaluation of your bite and jaw function. This careful approach allows us to develop a treatment plan that truly fits your life.
