What Can I Expect On My First Visit?
Your first visit at M.I. Dental Designs represents the kind of care and attention you’ll receive on every visit. During your comprehensive exam and dental cleaning, we make every effort to ensure your comfort and help you feel like part of our family. When you arrive, our front office staff will stand up and greet you by name. We’ll accept your completed new patient forms, or give you forms to complete in the reception area. Dr. Imam will come into the reception area, greet you, and escort you on a tour of the office. After that, you’ll sit in a conference room to get acquainted, discuss your oral health history and any concerns, and talk about your smile goals. A thorough new patient examination follows. It includes:
- Photos of your face, mouth, and teeth
- Examination of your head and neck
- Oral cancer screening of your tongue, cheeks, and oral tissue
- Full-mouth digital x-rays
- Periodontal probing and charting to detect of any signs of gum disease
The entire examination will take an hour and a half. After your exam, Dr. Imam will discuss the status of your oral health and any issues, and explain your treatment options. Afterward, a hygienist will complete your dental cleaning, which takes an additional hour. You have the option of scheduling the hygiene session at a separate appointment.

Financial Policies
Prior to any treatment, we will let you know the cost. If there is anything about the cost that you don’t understand, please ask.
Insurance
If you have insurance, we will file your claims as a courtesy to you and will submit all required documentation for your reimbursement. However, our practice is not in-network with any PPO plans. By remaining independent, we can prioritize quality over constraints, ensuring access to superior labs, materials, and top of the line technology that optimize our patients’ oral health outcomes. This decision grants us the freedom to tailor treatment plans to individual needs, guaranteeing that every patient receives the exceptional care they deserve. Thank you for entrusting us with your dental health journey.
