Your New Patient Experience
A different kind of dental visit. We reserve 90 minutes for your first appointment because true holistic care cannot be rushed.
What to expect on your first visit
We believe in transparency and co-discovery. Here is exactly how we'll spend our time together.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We start by gathering a complete picture of your oral and systemic health. This isn't just a quick look at your teeth; it's a deep dive into your overall wellness.
- Full Mouth CT Scan (3D Imaging)
- Airway and sleep assessment
- Oral cancer screening
- Periodontal (gum) health evaluation
Co-Discovery & Explanation
Dr. Castro will sit down with you to review all findings. We use high-resolution photos and 3D scans so you can see exactly what we see. We'll discuss how your oral health might be impacting your energy, sleep, or immune system. No dental jargon—just clear, honest conversation.
Decide Together
You are in the driver's seat. We will present you with holistic, biocompatible treatment options tailored to your specific goals. We will explain the benefits, the materials involved (like ceramic implants or SMART protocol for amalgam removal), discuss any airway findings that may be affecting your sleep and overall health, and answer your questions. You choose the path that feels right for your body.
How to prepare
To make the most of your 90-minute evaluation, we ask that you complete your new patient paperwork before arriving. This allows Dr. Castro to review your health history in advance.
Reserve 90 Minutes
We value your time and ours. Expect a full hour and a half for this comprehensive visit.
