Step-by-Step: What Happens at Your First Visit

Your first appointment typically lasts 60–90 minutes and is designed to provide a complete picture of your oral health.

1. Warm Welcome & Check-In

When you arrive at your nearest HAR Dental location—Tulia, Plainview, or Slaton—you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team. If you’ve filled out online forms ahead of time, great. If not, we’ll help you complete any necessary information.

We’ll verify:

• Your dental history
• Medical conditions
• Medications
• Insurance or payment preferences
• Dental goals or concerns

Our goal is to understand YOU—not just your teeth.

2. Full Oral Examination

Your new patient exam includes a thorough review of your entire mouth. This helps Dr. Harmouche understand your dental health today and identify potential concerns early.

The exam includes:

• Evaluation of teeth
• Gum health assessment
• Oral cancer screening
• Bite analysis
• TMJ (jaw joint) check
• Assessment of past dentistry

We take the time to explain what we see so you’re informed every step of the way.

3. High-Tech Digital X-Rays & Imaging

HAR Dental Group uses advanced diagnostic technology for more accurate, comfortable, and efficient care.

Depending on your needs, we may take:

• Digital X-rays
• Intraoral photos
• CBCT 3D scan (if needed for implants or complex cases)
• Digital scans for bite evaluation

These tools help us detect issues early—often before you feel pain.

4. Professional Dental Cleaning (If Applicable)

For most new patients, a standard cleaning can be completed during your first visit.

This includes:

• Plaque removal
• Tartar removal
• Polishing
• Flossing
• Personalized hygiene tips

If you require a more extensive cleaning (for gum disease), we’ll schedule it for a future visit.

5. Discussion With Dr. Harmouche: Your Smile Goals & Concerns

This is where HAR Dental truly stands out.

Your first visit includes a sit-down consultation with Dr. Omar Harmouche to discuss:

• Any symptoms you’ve noticed
• Your dental concerns
• Smile goals—cosmetic or functional
• Questions about your results
• Budget, insurance, and financing needs

We believe in collaborative dentistry—you’re part of the decision-making process.

6. Customized Treatment Plan

Based on your exam and imaging, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:

• Preventive care
• Fillings or restorations
• Cosmetic enhancements
• Orthodontic recommendations
• Implant or restorative options
• Emergency care solutions

Treatment plans are clear, visual, and explained in plain language. You’ll always know:

• What your options are
• Why we recommend them
• How much it costs
• How long treatment takes
• What results to expect

There are no surprises—just transparent, supportive guidance.

What If You’re Nervous About the Dentist?

You’re not alone. Many patients experience:

• Anxiety
• Sensitivity
• Fear from past experiences

At HAR Dental Group, we provide:

• Gentle, compassionate care
• A calm environment
• Modern tools that reduce noise and discomfort
• Optional sedation (depending on the procedure)

Our goal is to help you feel empowered—not anxious.
