Your First Visit

On Your First Visit, the First Thing We Do is Get to Know You

From the moment you first call us we will be your partner for your oral health.  We will listen to your needs so we can build a relationship.  You can sense this as soon as you walk into our comfortable waiting room, which overlooks the Fore River Sanctuary. Your first visit will begin by sitting down so I can talk to you, get to know you, and learn about your goals for your oral health.

We Make Sure you Understand your Options

Once I have gathered information about your oral health l will make recommendations.   Most of the time this can be done in our first visit, but if you require a more complex treatment I will plan out different treatment options for you and will schedule another appointment to go over those. The goal is to create a plan that is optimum for your long term oral health.  Sometimes treatments may take several phases, and we will always work out a plan that can fit with your financial situation.

We Value Your Questions

The most important thing to know is that we want you to ask questions- that is why I am here.   And if you have questions after you leave, you are always welcome to call, email, or come in to discuss them further.  We believe that having a good relationship with your dentist is important, because if you are comfortable asking us questions it will be easier for you to maintain (or improve)  your oral health.

The relations we build with our patients lead to health for a lifetime. Our phone number is 207-775-0001, our email is patientcare@drkerr.com.We are located in Portland, Maine.
