Your first dental visit in Livingston

We check your teeth and gums at your first visit and take any x-rays you need. Then Dr. Guiste tells you what she finds and goes over your options with you.

Your diagnosis and your choices

Dr. Ayaba Guiste, our dentist, explains her diagnosis before you decide anything. You choose what happens next, and we schedule any treatment with you.

If the dental chair makes you tense

Ask us about sedation. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
