Gentle dentistry, explained before it happens.

Live times
  • Open until 7 pm, Monday to Thursday

Your first visit, minute by minute

No surprises. This is the whole hour, start to finish, and you can pause it at any point.

  1. 0min

    Arrive and settle in

    Your forms are already done online, so there's no clipboard. Grab a tea and a blanket if you like.

  2. 5min

    A short tour

    Your hygienist shows you the room, the chair and the stop signal. Raise your hand and everything pauses.

  3. 10min

    Talk before anything else

    What's bothering you, what worries you, what's helped before. We write it down so nobody asks twice.

  4. 20min

    A gentle cleaning

    Noise-cancelling headphones are on the tray. We check in with you every few minutes.

  5. 40min

    A careful look

    Your dentist checks each tooth and your gums, and shows you anything worth seeing on the screen.

  6. 50min

    Your plan, in writing

    What's healthy, what to watch and any treatment with its price. You don't have to decide anything today.

  7. 60min

    That's it

    Book your next visit at the desk, or later online. Either is fine.
