What to Expect
Visits That Comfort, Not Make You Endure
Step 1: A Moment to Settle
You’ll be greeted with a smile and given a moment to find your bearings. No chaotic waiting room, no rushed clipboard exchange. The furniture (designed by Dr. B’s wife!) leans toward comfort, not ornament. Warm woods, soft fabrics, and no television shouting in the background.
What to bring with you:
- Photo ID
- Insurance card (if using insurance)
- Current medications list
- Recent X-rays (optional)
Step 2: A Conversation Before Anything Else
Dr. Babington, Dr. Chung, and Dr. Cerva ask layered questions to trace the real story of your mouth: how you sleep, whether you clench, if you like your smile, and what’s been bothering you in the background.
They’ll show you your scans, not as evidence, but as orientation.
“This is what I’m seeing. Does this line up with what you’ve been feeling?”
It’s a collaboration, not a lecture.
Step 3: A Thorough Exam Without Hurry
Expect us to notice small things: a hairline crack in a molar, the way your tongue rests, how narrowness in your arch might affect sleep or breathing. We don’t push treatment; we explain possibilities.
Step 4: Next Steps That Match Your Priorities
If something needs addressing, our dentists outline options calmly, with the same energy they’d use talking to their own family. You’ll often hear Dr. Babington say, “If those were my sister’s teeth, this is what I’d do.” It’s not a slogan, it’s the standard here.
