Your first visit to Summit Dental Care.
Welcoming new patients of all ages in downtown Seattle
What to expect at your first visit
We welcome new patients of all ages at our dental office in downtown Seattle’s Denny Triangle. Here’s what to expect as you plan your visit.
Your initial visit takes 90 minutes and includes full-mouth X-rays, an evaluation of your teeth and gums to determine the type of cleaning you need, a dental cleaning, and an examination by the doctor. A complimentary 3D scan is also included.
If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card.
Once you request an appointment, we’ll contact you by phone or text to confirm it. The request form does not reserve a time by itself.
