What to Expect During Your First Visit
Comprehensive Consultation (Exam Only, No Cleaning Included)
Your first appointment at Fresh Smile Seattle is a comprehensive consultation, focused entirely on evaluating your oral health, diagnosing concerns, and creating a personalized treatment plan. This appointment does not include a cleaning. Our approach is to first take a step back and understand your current condition and risk factors before initiating any treatment, including a cleaning. This allows us to provide the most appropriate care for your long-term oral health. We believe in a prevention-focused approach, and before any cleaning is performed, we need to assess your gum and bone health to ensure the most appropriate type of cleaning for your needs.
Before Your Appointment
✔ Schedule Your Appointment: You can book online, call us, or email us.
✔ Sign Up for Your Dental MyChart Account: After scheduling, you will receive an invitation to create a Dental MyChart account where you’ll find your new patient forms.
✔ Complete Forms Before Your Visit: We highly encourage you to fill out the forms at least 24 hours in advance so we can be fully prepared. If you can’t complete them online, please arrive 20 minutes early to fill them out at the office.
Step-by-Step Breakdown of Your First Visit
1️⃣ Patient Questionnaire Review – At the start of your appointment, we will review your responses to understand your goals and individual risk factors that may have contributed to past or current dental problems.
2️⃣ Data Collection – We will take high-resolution pictures, a full set of X-rays, and a digital scan (digital impression) of your teeth to gather essential information.
3️⃣ Comprehensive Exam – This includes:
Jaw Joint & Bite Evaluation
Assessment of Teeth Structures
Gums & Bone Health Examination
Oral Cancer Screening
Esthetic Evaluation (if you indicate any esthetic concerns)
4️⃣ Treatment Planning – After your visit, we take 1-2 days to analyze all collected data and develop a customized treatment plan that addresses any current concerns and includes preventive recommendations for lifelong dental health.
Your Personalized Review of Findings (ROF)
Your treatment plan—also called the Review of Findings (ROF)—will be presented in a separate visit at no additional cost. We highly recommend an in-person visit, but if you have difficulty coming back, we’re happy to offer a Zoom consultation instead. In some cases, if there are no complex treatment needs, we may be able to combine your ROF appointment with your cleaning for added convenience.

Insurance & Financing
DENTAL INSURANCE - PPO Plans
We accept all PPO insurance plans as an out-of-network provider. This means: ✔ Your out-of-pocket expense may be higher compared to in-network dentists. ✔ We will file your claims on your behalf for a smoother process. ✔ Being out-of-network allows us to spend the necessary time on a prevention-focused approach and recommend long-lasting dentistry that prioritizes your health over insurance limitations.
New Patient Exam Fee
✔ Our comprehensive exam fee is $549. ✔ Most PPO plans cover 100% (or close to it) of this cost except for Delta Dental, Regence, and Microsoft Premera plans, which may cover 40-60%. ✔ These are general trends, not guarantees—reimbursements vary by plan. Contact our office to understand your specific insurance coverage.
