New Patients

Hugo Dental Care welcomes new patients every day.
Our "new patient" appointments provide you and our staff
with a comprehensive picture of your dental health.
At your "new patient" appointment you will:

  • Meet our dental team.
  • Discuss your concerns and desires.
  • Receive dental x-rays.
  • Receive a comprehensive exam.
  • Receive a comprehensive treatment plan that will be reviewed in detail, including costs and financing options.
  • In most cases, you will receive a dental cleaning (if your treatment needs are more extensive, it may be appropriate to schedule the cleaning for another date). We also see new patients for consultations that would include one or more (but not all) of the above services.

Call us to set up a consultation.
We keep smiles coming and going!
