What to Expect During Your First Visit to SmileWise Dentistry of South Miami
Your first dental visit can feel a little uncertain, but at SmileWise Dentistry of South Miami, we’ve designed the process to be smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. From check-in to your cleaning, here’s exactly what you can expect when you come see us at Sunset Station, Suite 107.
When you arrive, our friendly front desk team will welcome you and help you check in. You’ll fill out a few forms so we can get to know you and your dental history. Our goal is to make the process quick and simple so you can relax before your appointment begins.
Next, one of our caring dental assistants will guide you to your treatment room. They’ll take the time to explain what’s next, review your health history, and make sure you feel comfortable before moving forward.
If needed, your assistant will take digital X-rays to give our team a complete look at your oral health. These images help us detect issues early, such as cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth, so we can provide the best possible care.
After your X-rays, you’ll meet with Dr. Leyane Hernandez Nunez DDS, who will review the results with you and perform a complete dental exam. As part of your evaluation, we will take intraoral and extraoral photos to ensure a more accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning. The doctor will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, answer your questions, and discuss your smile goals whether it’s routine care, orthodontic treatment, or whitening.
Before moving on, you’ll meet with our insurance coordinator, who will explain your coverage and go over any costs. We’ll make sure you understand your options so you can feel confident about your treatment plan and next steps.
Finally, you’ll see our hygienist for a professional cleaning to leave your teeth fresh and polished. If other treatment is needed, we’ll schedule your next visit and make sure everything fits into your schedule. Our focus is always on keeping you comfortable and informed.
