First Visit Expectations

Feel prepared for your first visit to Desert Ridge Family Dental

01 Get to know you

Our team will start your appointment by asking you some questions about your medical and dental history.



02 Exam

We will then perform a comprehensive oral exam. This may include x-rays, a non-invasive oral cancer screening, and a periodontal exam to check for signs of gum disease.

03 Dental Plan

Once your exam is finished, Dr. Gardea or Dr. Steinfeld will discuss their findings with you, and our staff will discuss our financial options.

Together, you will create a treatment plan to help you maintain a healthy, functional smile.
