What To Expect At Your First Appointment at Big Sky Dentures & Implants

In this video, Dr. Jack Booth explains what new patients can expect during their first visit and how care is planned through open conversation, clear imaging, and straightforward options.

A new patient can expect honesty and genuine care from the start. When you arrive, we bring you back to the operatory and simply ask you to tell your story. Most people have a dental history that involves past treatments, fears, and frustrations, so I listen first to understand where you’re coming from.
 
After that, we take a scan if it’s needed, which it usually is. Then we sit down together in front of the image so you can actually see what’s going on in your mouth. We look at the quality and quantity of bone, review the findings, and use models to help you visualize your options.
 
From there, we build a plan collaboratively. I factor in your goals, your concerns, and your budget. I lay out clear choices so you understand exactly what each option involves.
 
When we put the treatment plan together, we use a straightforward, comprehensive price so you know the full cost without surprises. Everything is on a simple one-page sheet. We also review financing options to make care as accessible as possible.
 
Overall, the first visit is a listening session followed by an honest discussion of your options. You tell us where you want to go, and we help you map out the best path to get there.
 
If you or someone you love is struggling with missing or damaged teeth, contact Big Sky Dentures & Implants in Missoula, MT, for a dental implant consultation to learn how our life-changing treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
