New Patients — What to Expect

The Highest Level of Care

A first visit at Dr. Garza’s Gilbert dental practice is not a routine cleaning followed by a quick look in your mouth. It is a comprehensive, in-depth assessment of your entire oral health — teeth, gums, bite, jaw function, existing restorations, and soft tissues. Dr. Garza takes the time to understand your history, your concerns, and your goals before making a single recommendation. For many new patients, it is the most thorough dental exam they have ever had.

The experience starts before you even arrive. New patient forms are sent directly to your phone or email ahead of your appointment — completing them at home, at your own pace, saves time in the office and ensures our team has everything they need to make your visit smooth and efficient. When you walk in, someone will greet you by name. That’s not a policy — it’s how this practice was built.

After your initial exam, Dr. Garza will walk you through every finding in plain language — on the chairside monitor, so you can see exactly what he sees. If treatment is needed, you’ll understand why before any decision is made. If nothing is needed, you’ll be told that plainly. Honest, unhurried, and genuinely personalized — that is the standard at this Gilbert dental office.

“After just the first consultation and exam, I can definitely say that was the most thorough dental assessment I’ve ever received in my life. Was initially just going in for an alternative to a CPAP machine, BUT I can certainly say that I will continue to go there for everything else. Very professional and friendly staff.”
—Taylor E.
