Visiting a new dental office can feel like a bit of an unknown. How long will it take? What are they going to tell me? Is this going to turn into a long list of things I “need”?

At Prickly Pear Dental Care, we’ve designed the experience to be straightforward, thorough, and—most importantly—comfortable. No surprises, no pressure, and no rushing through your visit.

Your first visit typically takes about 90 minutes and is focused on getting a clear, complete understanding of your oral health. This includes:

• A comprehensive exam with Dr. Flores

• Digital x-rays

• A 3D scan of your teeth and bite

• A standard cleaning (when clinically appropriate)

We take our time because we believe that good dentistry starts with a complete picture—not quick, sometimes inaccurate assumptions.
