First dental visits can often feel impersonal and transactional. That's not what happens here.
When you see Dr. Molly for the first time, you're not squeezed into a 45-minute slot. You get 90 minutes of our full attention. Enough time for us to actually get to know you, to really understand what you want, and create a plan with you.
This is what a new kind of dentistry looks like.
What happens during Your first visit
Here’s what your 90-minute new patient appointment looks like and why each part matters.
A warm welcome
You'll be greeted by name the moment you walk in. The atmosphere here is calm, comfortable, and genuinely friendly. If you've had dental anxiety in the past, this is the place for you. We take it seriously.
iTero Digital Scans
We begin with a full set of iTero intraoral scans using a small handheld wand to create a precise 3D digital model of your teeth, gums, and bite, without traditional gunk-filled impression trays. You see your mouth on the screen in real time. We use these images to walk you through exactly what we're seeing and why it matters.
CBCT Imaging
Every new patient also receives a CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scan which delivers 3D, high-definition images of your bone structure, tooth roots, sinuses, and jaw. This cutting-edge technology gives Dr. Molly a complete picture of your oral health from every angle.
Conversation with Dr. Molly
Next, everything comes together during your time with Dr. Molly. She’ll sit down and have a real conversation with you about your scans, imaging, and any other discoveries. She loves to answer questions, so now is the time to bring up anything you might be thinking about. Issues? Concerns? Or maybe you’ve considered cosmetic dentistry and want to know how it might work for your smile. By the end of your conversation with Dr. Molly, you'll have a clear picture of your oral health, a plan to get your smile where you want it to be, and a financial breakdown and timeline that makes sense for you and your life.
Cleaning with Our Hygienist
Next, you'll enjoy an unrushed, gentle, and thorough cleaning with our hygienist. Your hygienist will address buildup, check your gum tissue, and have a conversation with you about how you brush, what you're noticing, and anything that might be bothering you.
A Philosophy of Conservative
Dr. Molly's philosophy is to treat what needs treated and protect what doesn't.
One expression of that philosophy is our use of Curodont, a biomimetic remineralization treatment designed to reverse early-stage cavities without drilling. That means every soft spot doesn’t have to become a filling when there's a better option. We’ll always lean toward the most conservative options for you and your smile.
Why we are insurance-freeAnd why that is a good thing.
We are a fee-for-service practice, meaning we don't participate with dental insurance networks. At first that might sound like a drawback until you understand what it actually means for your care.
Insurance companies set the rules when a dentist is in-network. They determine what treatments get approved, how much time can be spent with you, and which materials are acceptable.
Here, every decision belongs only to you and Dr. Molly. It’s like having a concierge dentist with nothing standing between you and your care.
You get the best labs, the best materials, and the best equipment. You get all the time you need. And you can rest assured that every treatment recommendation is based on your smile and your goals, not dictated by an insurance company.
The best part? We still handle all insurance submissions on your behalf and work hard to help you maximize the benefits available through your plan.

Before you arrive
To make the most of your 90 minutes together, we ask that you take a few minutes to complete the TMJ & Sleep Apnea forms if relevant to you.
TMJ dysfunction may cause jaw pain, clicking or popping in your jaw, headaches, or difficulty fully opening your mouth. If you have any of these symptoms, please fill out the form above.
If you snore, wake up tired, have been told you stop breathing in your sleep, or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, Dr. Molly can help you explore non-CPAP treatment options. Please fill out the form above if you are experiencing any symptoms.
