What to Expect at Your First Visit to Stillwater Dentistry

Finding a new dentist isn’t just about scheduling an appointment—it’s about finding a team you can trust with your health. At Stillwater Dentistry in Rome, GA, we take that responsibility seriously. From the moment you walk in, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that you’re in good hands.

Whether you’re here for a routine checkup, a cosmetic consultation, or a restorative procedure, your first dental visit is about more than just your teeth—it’s about understanding you. Dr. Saahil Patel, Dr. Aditi Mandalaywala, and Dr. Christopher Keenan take time to learn your goals, answer questions, and build a relationship that makes every visit easier than the last.

A Friendly Welcome and Smooth Start

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our front desk team and invited to settle in. We’ll review your health history and discuss any recent dental concerns. If you’ve already completed your forms online, that’s perfect—it helps us get started quickly. If not, we’ll walk you through them in-office so nothing feels rushed.

We’re happy to go over insurance details or explain flexible payment options before your appointment begins. Our goal is to make every step simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Your Comprehensive Exam and Cleaning

Your first visit is a great time to get the full picture of your oral health. We’ll take digital X-rays and perform a thorough exam to check your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw.

Dr. Patel, Dr. Mandalaywala, or Dr. Keenan will talk with you about what they see—whether that’s areas that need attention or ways to prevent issues before they start. Most new patient visits also include a professional cleaning with one of our gentle hygienists. You’ll leave with that smooth, just-cleaned feeling and a clear sense of how your smile is doing.

We encourage questions throughout your visit. Whether you’re wondering about flossing techniques, whitening options, or long-term treatment goals, we’re here to make sure you leave with answers.

Personalized Care for Every Smile

Every patient is different, which is why we take a customized approach to treatment planning. Your dentist will review your exam results and walk you through any recommendations. Together, you’ll decide what makes sense for your schedule, comfort, and budget.

If you’re interested in improving your smile, we also offer Invisalign®, veneers, same-day crowns, and whitening treatments—and we’re happy to discuss which options might fit your goals.

No matter what brings you to Stillwater Dentistry, you’ll never feel rushed or pressured. We believe dentistry should feel collaborative, not transactional.

Technology Meets Comfort

Our office is designed to feel welcoming and calm, with modern tools that make visits easier and more precise. For example, CEREC same-day crown technology allows us to restore damaged teeth in a single visit, while nitrous oxide sedation offers gentle relaxation for patients who feel anxious about treatment.

We also use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to ensure accuracy and comfort at every step. It’s all part of our effort to make dental visits efficient, comfortable, and reassuring—especially for new patients.
