What We Do

When you come for your first visit we will do a comprehensive examination, including a full set of x-rays, detailed dental history, periodontal probing and medical history survey. This provides Dr. Karen Urnise with important information to determine what treatment options best fit your needs. Dr. Karen Urnise will review all information gathered during your comprehensive examination and put together treatment options for your needs. We will then schedule you for a complimentary 30 minute consultation to go through different treatment options, insurance and cost. This allows her to spend additional dedicated time with each patient to answer any questions before moving forward with treatment. First Child Visit: We want kids to like coming to the dentist, for the first visit we want them to have fun. We have a special kids area in our practice that can help your child feel at home here. It is recommended that your child be seen when their first tooth comes in or by their first birthday. Depending on your child’s age and comfort level we will either do a knee lap examination or a regular exam in a dental chair. If your child is ready to sit in our regular chair we will show them all our fun things and clean their teeth, give detailed brushing instructions and apply fluoride varnish. During a knee lap examination, Dr. Urnise will sit knee-to-knee with the parent while the parent holds their child as Dr. Urnise examines the child’s mouth. This provides a very safe and comfortable first dental experience for the child. Often children cry at some point during first dental visit, this is completely normal. There are many new things to experience in the dental office, and we use an interactive method to show them all of our fun tools and equipment.
