Your First Visit

Welcome to our dental family!

We can’t wait to meet you. When you arrive, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy our warm and friendly atmosphere. Feeling nervous or anxious? We have many amenities to make you feel at ease and comfortable. Find out more about your appointment experience.

Initial Consultation

Dr. Igor Ochev speaks with you about your overall health, your past dental experiences, and any current dental problems you might have. He shares his philosophy of care with you and takes the time to explain the progression and prevention of dental disease. Our patient care team treats you with respect as someone with distinct personal and professional needs. You can rest assured that no treatment is performed without your consent.

Comprehensive Dental Exam

After your initial consultation, Dr. Ochev gives you a thorough dental examination. Our exams evaluate your lips and cheeks, TMJ (temporomandibular joints) and lymph nodes, the integrity of each tooth, the supporting bone and gum, as well as your bite.

NOTE: As a new patient, you receive your cleaning at your return visit after Dr. Ochev reviews the findings and treatment options with you. For a same day exam and cleaning, you must request it when you book your first appointment. Find out more about our exams and cleanings.

Dental X-rays

To obtain a full evaluation, we usually require dental X-rays. Please have all previously taken X-rays forwarded to our office. We consider the need for future X-rays on a case-by-case basis. Find out more about our digital X-rays.

Treatment Plan

Our primary focus is to help you achieve optimum oral health. We prioritize treatments in order of importance, taking into account long-term goals and comprehensive care. Please ask as many questions as you would like because we want you to feel totally comfortable before moving forward.

Patient Savings & Financial Options

At EvoSmile, dental care is empathy care.

Your oral health profoundly affects your overall health. For this reason, we would never want you to hold off on your dental care because of cost — whether or not you carry insurance. This is why we offer the following solutions to ease your worry and your pocketbook.

Insurance Benefits

We’re an out-of-network dental office that accepts insured patients with PPO plans. Get answers to commonly asked questions.
