What to expect
We're looking forward to your first visit! We promise to make you comfortable, give you our best care, utmost respect, and help you get on with your day. Our offices are brimming with friendly faces who are focused on you.
Your first visit will include a careful oral examination by your dentist who will check for things like tooth decay, gum disease and other conditions that can affect not just your mouth, but your overall health.
From start to finish, this first visit will most likely last 60 to 90 minutes so we can make sure we give your smile the attention it needs.
What to bring to your first visit
Your medical and dental history info, including any medications you’re taking
Your dental insurance card (if you have insurance)
Your parent if you’re under 18 (or if you’re over 18, but just want the company)

Staff is great, and Dr. Colella is top-notch. The new location is a marked improvement, as well. Procedures are well explained, and I was never in any discomfort.

I recently had a crown replacement done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel comfortable and cared for. The front desk staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly organized — everything from scheduling to check-in was seamless.
Dr. Balaney and his hygienists took the time to explain each step of the process and made sure I was completely at ease. His attention to detail and precision were exceptional — the new crown looks and feels perfect, better than I ever expected. The dental assistants were also amazing, so kind and attentive throughout my visit. I would highly recommend this practice! - Zach H.
