Your First Visit

At Phinney Ridge Dental, we aim to treat you like family. With that in mind, your first visit to our dental office will be as pleasant and as welcoming as we can make it. 

We want to get to know you and your family and make you feel welcome in our office, so if there’s anything we can do to make you more comfortable when you arrive, please let us know. 

As dentists in Seattle, WA, Dr. Micah Bickel and Dr. Bryant Trinh strive to serve everyone in the community to the best of their ability. Your first appointment will include a thorough exam by Dr. Bickel or Dr. Bryant, our friendly dentists who are dedicated to providing excellent dental services to their patients.

They will discuss all your dental concerns with you while you are in the office so they can get a full understanding of your dental needs. They will also inform you of any dental problems they find during your exam and review your dental treatment options with you. 

What To Bring To Your Dental Appointment

If you have dental insurance, please bring your dental insurance information with you to your first appointment. 

To make your check-in process faster, you will find all of our new patients forms online. Please feel free to fill them out in advance and bring them with you to your first appointment. If you cannot fill them out in advance, it is a good idea to arrive a little early to fill out your paperwork before your scheduled appointment. 

The First Appointment

Our Doctors’s initial exam will be thorough. In our office, we provide a tooth-by-tooth inspection, looking for any dental issues. We also carefully examine your gums to check for gum disease. Your dental team will tell you about any potential issues they find, and they will go over the treatment options available to you. 

We want to help you make the best decisions possible when it comes to your oral health, so we will take the time to answer any questions you may have about your dental needs or treatments.

In our dental office, Dr. Bickel and Dr. Bryant use preventive care to help you keep dental issues, like cavities and gum disease, from developing whenever possible. When you do have a dental issue we need to address, they recommend the most conservative treatment options first.

During the first appointment, many patients receive a dental cleaning in addition to an exam. Dental cleanings are vital in maintaining good oral health.

We Offer Sedation Dentistry In Seattle, WA

Dr. Bickel and Dr. Bryant are empathetic dentists who understand dental anxiety. We offer sedation dentistry in our office to help ease your anxiety and make your dental appointment more comfortable for you.

If you have dental anxiety, be sure to talk to Dr. Bickel or Dr. Bryant about it during your first dental appointment. We don’t want you to be uncomfortable in our office, and we will do everything we can to make your dental experience a good one.
