Your First Visit Here Is Different.
Combining your cleaning and a comprehensive exam, your first visit is intentionally unhurried, with time for conversation about your oral health, and questions along the way. Each part of your visit builds on the one before it, giving your doctor a fuller understanding of you as the appointment unfolds.
From the beginning, you have a place in the conversation about your own health.
What Your Comprehensive Exam Looks Like
We Start With You
Your visit begins with a conversation directly with your doctor about your health, what brought you in, and your dental history — we request your most recent X-rays and notes from your previous dentist. Your hygienist gets to know you from the start, and your doctor checks in early so what matters to you stays at the center of the visit.
We Build the Whole Picture
Your hygienist and care coordinator work together to gather detailed photographs, X-rays, periodontal measurements, and information about your existing dental work. As they guide you through each part of the visit, your doctor reviews what they’re finding and begins connecting the pieces.
We Look at It Together
Sitting beside you, your doctor brings everything together, walking you through what they see—what looks healthy, what they’re watching, and anything that may need attention. You have time to ask questions, understand your options, and decide together, with your care team, what comes next.
A Complete Picture Changes the Conversation
By the time your exam is complete, your doctor has more than a snapshot of your teeth. They have the context of your health, existing dental work, concerns, and goals—and you’ve had the chance to understand that picture alongside them.
Every doctor at Pelican brings advanced training and years of clinical experience to your care. Together with a complete picture of your oral health, that expertise helps guide the conversation about what comes next.

You Deserve to Be Cared for This Way
Feeling genuinely cared for means having a team that knows what matters to you, remembers where you’ve been, and stays connected to what comes next. The attention you experience at your first visit sets the standard for every visit that follows.
This is only the beginning.
