Welcome to Canyon Dental! We are delighted you have chosen us for your dental care needs. We understand that a first dental visit can often be filled with questions, expectations and maybe even some apprehension. That is why we have designed our practice to offer a warm, comfortable environment where you can receive top-tier dental care in Hacienda Heights, California, while feeling completely at ease.

What to Expect

  • Warm Welcome: From the moment you walk in, our friendly staff is here to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience.
  • Initial Paperwork: If you have not already filled out our digital patient forms, we will ask you to complete them in the office. This helps us understand your dental history and any concerns you may have.
  • Consultation and Exam: Your first appointment will include a comprehensive dental examination. Our dentist will evaluate the health of your teeth, gums and your bite. This often involves taking X-rays for a thorough diagnosis.
  • Personalized Discussion: We believe in a patient-centered approach. After your exam, we will discuss your dental needs and goals, and outline a personalized treatment plan tailored just for you.
  • Professional Cleaning: Depending on your dental condition, you may receive a cleaning during your first visit or schedule one for a future date.
  • Q&A Time: Feel free to ask any questions you have — whether it is about the recommended treatments, financial options or ongoing dental care.

Preparing for Your Visit

  • Insurance and Payment Information: Please bring your insurance card if you have one, along with a form of identification.
  • Previous Dental Records: If possible, bring any previous dental records, or have them sent to our office in advance.
  • List of Medications: A list of medications you are currently taking can help us provide the most personalized treatment plan.
