What to Expect

Your initial appointment will consist of an examination, personalized discussion about your oral health, and review of your treatment options. Usually, a teeth-cleaning or treatment can begin the same day. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

A thorough examination of your teeth and gums will be performed so our team can get a complete understanding of your oral health and any potential issues that may require treatment, such as tooth decay or periodontal disease. We’ll even check for more serious conditions so as to ensure your complete safety, such as oral cancer screening.

Our dental staff will take photos with our high definition camera to capture details intraorally and ensure you receive the best care and treatment plan possible.

THE GREATEST FEELING IS HEARING THOSE WHO I’VE ADMIRED FOR THEIR TEETH TELL ME THAT THEY WANT MY TEETH!

I always found myself self-conscious when talking. I always tried to cover my teeth with my lips. The greatest feeling is that now after having my teeth done, I see people that in the past I admired for their teeth telling me that they want my teeth, or trying to figure out what is different.

IT HAS MADE ME BETTER!

Dr. McNeill is in command of his dentistry. He knows what he is doing and what he needed to do to get my teeth to look their absolute best,. I told Dr. McNeill about a year ago while he was checking my teeth how happy I was with the whole experience and how carefully he did his work, I haven’t told my husband but it is better than diamonds, it has made me better.

WHY I CHOSE COSMETIC DENTISTRY

I wanted Cosmetic Dentistry for some time. My teeth where worn down over the years, so I asked Dr. McNeill how to improve the appearance of my teeth. The consult with Dr. McNeill was remarkable and he suggested ceramic veneers.
