Well, we assure you that there is nothing to be afraid of. If you choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitchellsmiledesign.com\/meet-dr-mitchell.html\">Dr. Bradley Mitchell<\/a> as your dentist in OKC, you can expect the highest quality of care along with truly personal service. You might even start to look forward to your biannual checkups! Here is an overview of what you can expect the first time you come to see us.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>A Warm Welcome<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone in our office loves to meet new people and get to know them. When you arrive for your appointment, we\u2019ll start things off with a friendly greeting. We might also have to go over a little paperwork. Our new patient forms will help us learn about your medical history, any concerns you have about your oral health, anything you would like to accomplish with your smile, and your insurance coverage.<\/p>\n<p>You can also download our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitchellsmiledesign.com\/patients.html\">new patient forms<\/a> on our website if you want to get a head start on the paperwork.<\/p>\n<h2>A Thorough Cleaning and Checkup<\/h2>\n<p>We often like to take a set of X-rays for new patients, which will help Dr. Mitchell get the most comprehensive view possible of your oral health. We always use the latest in dental technology, including digital X-rays, so this process should be quick and easy.<\/p>\n<p>One of our talented hygienists will then clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar and giving you some personalized tips on how you can improve your oral hygiene routine at home. Or, if it\u2019s obvious that you already have great habits, we\u2019ll give you some major kudos. We\u2019ll also take a look at your periodontal health and then perform an oral cancer screening.<\/p>\n<h2>A One-on-One Chat With Dr. Mitchell<\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever been to a dentist and spent a long time with the hygienist and about two seconds (seemingly) with the dentist? That can be frustrating, especially if you have specific concerns or questions about your oral health that you want to talk about. Dr. Mitchell cares about each of his patients on a personal level, so he\u2019ll be sure to take as much time as necessary with you to discuss what\u2019s on your mind.<\/p>\n<p>He may suggest a course of treatment to address any oral health issues that were uncovered during the exam. He offers all of the basic services, including fillings, crowns, bridges, etc., but he goes even further. If you would like to give your smile a makeover or even get those pearly whites straightened out, Dr. Mitchell will be pleased to help you with those goals.<\/p>\n<p>Tired of cookie-cutter dentistry? Come visit us for an experience that might just change the way you think about oral healthcare!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mitchell truly enjoys his job and would be more than happy to share his enthusiasm for dentistry with you.
