A first visit to Peartree Dental typically includes a dental cleaning with our hygienist and a comprehensive examination with Dr. Zhou. However, if you are here due to a dental emergency, Dr. Zhou will see you directly to address your immediate concern.
A Personalized Welcome
When you arrive, we’ll help you complete the necessary paperwork and insurance information. A team member will escort you to a comfortable treatment room where we'll learn about your oral health history, current concerns, and goals for your smile.
Your Dental Cleaning
For most patients, a dental hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning. However, the type of cleaning you receive depends on your oral health status. If we notice signs of gum disease or extensive buildup, we may recommend scheduling a deep cleaning treatment at a subsequent appointment.
Comprehensive Examination
Next, Dr. Zhou will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. He’ll use advanced digital imaging technology to show you what he sees and explain his findings in clear, understandable terms.
Your visit concludes with a conversation about your oral health status and any recommended treatment. We'll also explain any insurance coverage and payment options to help you make confident decisions about your dental care.
