What to Expect at Your Visit

Your experience at Dental Excellence is designed to feel calm, supportive, and easy. From the moment you arrive, our team focuses on making sure you feel welcomed and well cared for. We take time to guide you through each step of your appointment so you always understand what to expect. Whether it is your first visit or a routine check-in, our goal is to help you feel relaxed, confident, and informed throughout your care.

Your First Appointment

Your first visit provides us with the opportunity to learn about your oral health, your goals, and how your smile functions in your daily life. During this appointment, you will receive a complimentary dental exam, consultation, and full mouth scan, as well as an optional smile makeover and wellness scans. These assessments enable us to create a clear picture of your needs, allowing us to design a personalized plan that supports long-term comfort and stability. Your visit will be calm, thorough, and focused on your comfort at every stage.

What to Bring

To help us prepare for your appointment, we recommend bringing:

  • A valid photo ID
  • Your dental insurance information, if applicable
  • A list of medications or health conditions
  • Any night guards, retainers, or appliances you currently use
  • Recent dental records or X-rays if available

If you need help accessing or transferring past dental records, our team can assist before your visit.

Amenities That Support Your Comfort

We want your time with us to feel relaxing and stress-free. Dental Excellence offers a wide range of amenities for adults and children, including blankets, pillows, chapstick, stress balls, toys, headphones, music, books, magazines, TVs, streaming services, earplugs, eye masks, nitrous oxide, free Wi-Fi, water, and a wheelchair-accessible layout. You are welcome to use anything that helps you feel more comfortable during your appointment. If you have specific comfort requests, our team is always happy to help.

Same Day Appointments

Life can be unpredictable, and dental needs sometimes require timely attention. We offer same-day appointments when available to help address urgent concerns as quickly as possible. If you are experiencing discomfort or believe you need to be seen soon, reach out, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

For Families and Children

Our practice is welcoming to patients of all ages. Children can enjoy toys, stress balls, entertainment options, and a friendly atmosphere designed to make their visit positive and comfortable. Parents are encouraged to stay close, ask questions, and help their child feel at ease. We aim to create a stress-free dental experience that supports healthy habits from an early age.

Dr. D and staff are always friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I have a bad gag reflex and her staff has many different ways to help me when I get X-rays. My wife saw them for an emergency tooth ache and although her issue was beyond what they could do Dr. D gave a recommendation and her husband James called on my wife’s behalf and made her an appointment for the next day because she was in so much pain. Thanks again for such great customer service. Tim and Jen

Best dentist I’ve ever been to with a professional, kind, knowledgable, and caring staff. They helped me prioritize my needs to work within my budget with zero judgment and scheduled my services promptly. Nice, clean office with modern dental tech. Highly recommended!

Dr. Dunkleberger runs a friendly, relaxed and professional practice. She and her staff are courteous and prompt with their service, and never pushy with their suggested treatments. I have been using them for the last 4 years and recommend them highly.
