First Visit

NEw Dental Patients

When you arrive for your first visit, you will be greeted by one of our friendly and caring team members.  You will be offered fresh coffee, tea or bottled water.  You will be pleased by the appearance of the office with its warm and inviting colors.  In addition, you will notice the aromatherapy, rather than the typical dental office scent.

You will continue to be guided through your visit while we gather the necessary records to enable us to provide optimum care and diagnosis.  You will experience the latest in dental technology.  Time is set aside to discuss any fears or concerns that you may have and to thoroughly evaluate and examine everything that could cause harm or damage to your oral system.   Your initial exam will last approximately one hour.  We take this visit very seriously.   Providing a complete exam is one of  the most important events that we perform.  Once this exam is complete, Dr. Schillinger will have the data needed to tailor a plan to meet your needs and your desires.  This is not a volume driven practice, but one driven by relationships.  This will be evident from the moment you enter our practice.

A second complimentary consultation may be scheduled giving you the opportunity to ask questions about what we have diagnosed or discovered together.

Our office is located at 717 Insight Avenue, Suite 200, O’Fallon, IL 62269.

Preparing For your Appointment

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

• Any x-rays taken by a previous dentist, if applicable.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
