What to Expect

Your First Visit to Dentist of Redlands

Your first appointment at Dentist of Redlands begins with digital X-rays followed by a one-on-one consultation and exam with Dr. Munguia. She takes the time to get to know your dental history, listen to your concerns, and build a personalized treatment plan designed around your specific needs and goals.

Before you leave, our team will schedule your professional cleaning and walk you through any recommended next steps. Whether you're coming in for a routine checkup or have a specific concern to address, we make sure every patient leaves with a clear picture of their oral health and a plan they feel confident about.

Arriving prepared keeps everything moving. Bring your dental insurance information, complete our forms in advance if you can, and note down any questions about your oral health or your smile that you'd like to talk through with Dr. Munguia.

A Look at Your First Visit

What Happens At Your First Visit

Here is exactly what happens, in order, so there are no surprises. Most first visits take about an hour, and you'll leave knowing where your oral health stands and what, if anything, comes next.

  1. Step 1

    Advanced Digital X-Rays

    We begin with low-radiation digital X-rays to give Dr. Munguia a complete, detailed view of your teeth, roots, and jaw structure before the exam begins.

  2. Step 2

    Comprehensive Exam

    Dr. Munguia personally reviews your X-rays, examines your teeth and gums, screens for oral cancer, and talks through any areas of concern — in English or Spanish.

  3. Step 3

    Personalized Treatment Planning

    Based on your exam findings and your goals, Dr. Munguia walks you through a clear, customized plan that prioritizes your oral health, with costs and insurance explained up front.

  4. Step 4

    Scheduling & Next Steps

    Before you leave, our team schedules your professional cleaning and any follow-up treatments so your care stays on track.

Why Patients Stay

A Comfortable, Stress-Free Experience

A Comfortable Visit

Visiting the dentist makes a lot of people anxious. TVs and warm blankets in every operatory help, and nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation is available for anyone who needs more.

Personalized Care

We take a personal approach with every patient. Dr. Munguia and the team are here to listen to your concerns, answer your questions and shape your care around what you actually want.

Advanced Technology

Digital X-rays, 3D CBCT imaging, a digital scanner and an intraoral camera give clear, detailed pictures — so diagnosis is accurate and treatment is efficient.
