Before any treatment begins, each patient receives a thorough examination and health assessment. At this appointment we get to know you and your family history, review your medical and dental history, and address your reason(s) for seeking our care.
This examination typically includes digital x-rays and a complete survey and charting of your teeth, including cavities, restorations, and missing teeth. We also evaluate your periodontal (gum) health, occlusion (teeth position and bite) and TMJ (jaw joint) as well as screen for oral cancer and record your blood pressure.
We will then review our findings, discuss your needs, answer your questions and make recommendations for treatment. Once treatment recommendations have been made, one of our Patient Care Coordinators will discuss your insurance benefits, give you an estimate, and provide you with the number and length of visits needed to complete treatment.
What should I bring to my first dental visit?
You should bring the following items with you to your first exam:
Will dental treatment hurt?
We use topical and local anesthetics and offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to ensure the comfort of our patients. In special cases, we can premedicate prior to dental appointments if necessary.
How do I pay for dental services?
We accept most insurance. We also accept cash, checks and credit cards. We will work with your insurance to help maximize your dental benefits.
He took his time talking to me, explaining things. I didn’t feel rushed out. My hygienist Sarah was wonderful. She was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. She took great care and did a very thorough job cleaning my teeth. I am happy to have my family at this dental office now.”

I was desperate to find a dentist that could see me quickly. By Monday afternoon not only did they re-insert my crown, but also found time to fit me in for a regular cleaning. The professionalism from the top down was evident, I couldn’t have been happier with the service that Dr. Salhadar and his staff provided. I highly recommend Ada Family Dentistry for anybody in search of a new provider."
