New Patient Guide

What to expect at your first visit.

No paperwork on clipboards. No surprise upsell. Just a thoughtful 60-minute conversation about your smile — and what we can do together. Here's exactly how it works.

The process

Four steps to your dream smile.

Step 01

Tell us your goals

We'll send a short pre-consultation form. Tell us what you'd love to change, what you've always been self-conscious about, what you love about your smile already. Bring any inspiration photos — smiles you admire, before-and-afters you've saved.

Step 02

Photo series & exam

We photograph your smile from several angles under controlled lighting. A clinical exam follows — tooth-by-tooth assessment, bite analysis, gum health check. All of this feeds into your digital design with precision.

Step 03

Digital smile preview

Dr. Giesler builds a digital mock-up of your proposed result on-screen. You see exactly what your new smile would look like — shape, shade, length, proportion. We refine it together until you're happy. This is the design you sign off on.

Step 04

Treatment plan & estimate

A written plan: procedures in order, timeline, and a fully itemised cost estimate with any applicable insurance breakdown. You leave knowing exactly what's involved — no pressure to proceed that day, no expiry on the plan.

Before you arrive

What to bring to your consultation.

Insurance card

Bring your dental insurance card if you have one. We'll verify your benefits before treatment and explain what's covered vs. what's cosmetic.

Inspiration photos

Screenshots of smiles you admire. A photo of yourself from when you were happiest with your teeth. Anything that communicates what you want — this is the most useful thing you can bring.

About 60 minutes

The consultation isn't rushed. Allow an hour — 20 minutes for photos and exam, 20 minutes for the digital preview, 20 minutes to discuss your plan and ask every question you have.

Insurance & Payment

Most PPO plans welcome. CareCredit on file.

Bring your insurance card and we'll verify benefits before you sit down. Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered, but restorative work often is — we'll itemise both clearly at your estimate.

CareCredit financing available for qualified patients. Call (404) 262-7733 to ask about current terms.
