What to Expect on Your First Visit
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Getting to Know You
We believe that the best kind of dental care is thoughtful, personalized care. And the only way to really deliver that kind of care is to take the time to get to know you—to find out about your dental history, your existing issues, your concerns, your goals for your oral health and the appearance of your smile—and to give you our best advice as to your treatment options.
That’s why we typically reserve 90 minutes for a new patient appointment. During that time, we will:
- Introduce you to our team and show you our facility
- Take complete records of your current oral health condition, including photos
- Perform a comprehensive examination
- Share with you our initial findings
- Work with you on developing your oral health plan
Maybe that plan involves nothing more for now than maintaining your existing condition through regular hygiene visits.
Maybe it is about prioritizing treatment according to clinical urgency and financial realities.
Maybe it means moving forward with an exciting smile makeover.
Whatever we end up deciding on together, we are going to do it after you have been properly introduced to our practice—and to your oral health possibilities.

FAQs
How long to wait to eat after teeth cleaning?
After a regular teeth cleaning we recommend a 30 minute wait before eating, especially if a fluoride treatment is applied. If you had a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), wait at least a few hours, and stick to soft foods to avoid gum irritation. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for the rest of the day if your gums feel sensitive.
Do you pull teeth?
We do not pull teeth. During your consultation, if we see that you have teeth that need to be removed we will refer you to a trusted specialist and coordinate to ensure the restoration of your teeth.
Does Sandquist Dentistry offer Invisalign?
Yes, we are a Gold Invisalign provider! Dr. Lee-Mirzayan straightens teeth and corrects mild to moderate bite issues with Invisalign custom-made clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place, like traditional braces but without metal wires or brackets. Request a free consultation with Sandquist Dentistry Las Vegas online.
What is full mouth rehabilitation?
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive dental treatment plan that restores the function, aesthetics, and health of the entire mouth by addressing issues with teeth, gums, and bite alignment. It often involves a combination of procedures, such as crowns, veneers, implants, and periodontal treatments, tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Start by getting a consultation with a trustworthy dentist, like Dr. Sandquist. Though full mouth rehabilitation is not always necessary, digital imaging, X-rays, and a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite allow us to make a treatment plan. Restorative work (crowns, bridges, or implants), cosmetic improvements (veneers or teeth whitening), and functional corrections (orthodontics or TMJ therapy) are all part of your personalized treatment plan. At Sandquist Dentistry in Las Vegas, we are here to get your oral health, function, and appearance back to their best.
What is myofunctional therapy and do I need it?
Myofunctional therapy is a series of exercises designed to improve the strength, coordination, and function of the tongue, lips, and facial muscles. It addresses issues like tongue thrust, mouth breathing, improper swallowing, or poor oral posture, which can contribute to dental problems, sleep apnea, or jaw pain.
You might need myofunctional therapy if you experience symptoms like chronic mouth breathing, speech difficulties, teeth grinding, or an open bite, or if your dentist identifies functional habits affecting your oral health. At Sandquist Dentistry in Las Vegas, Dr. Lee-Mirzayan, DDS, is certified in myofunctional therapy and, through consultation, will help you determine whether it’s right for you.
