Your First Visit
Made Simple
Dreading your dental appointment? You're not alone. At Harbour Dental Studio in Philadelphia's Old City, we've completely reimagined what your first visit should feel like. No rushing, no judgment, no surprises—just comfortable, honest dental care that puts you first.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
Required:
- Photo ID and dental insurance card (we'll verify everything for you)
- Current medication list (including vitamins—they matter for your dental health)
- Previous dental records if you have them (don't worry if you don't—we'll get them)
Optional but Helpful:
- List of concerns or questions you want to discuss
- Preferred contact method for appointment reminders
What We Provide:
- Everything else—from wireless headphones to cozy blankets to clear explanations of your treatment options.
Dr. Boules Listens Before He Looks
Before we examine a single tooth, Dr. Boules sits down with you to understand:
- What brought you in today
- Your past dental experiences (good and bad)
- Your concerns about treatment
- What you want from your smile
- How we can make you comfortable
Only then do we move to the clinical side—comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, gentle cleaning, and oral cancer screening using our advanced VELscope technology.
Technology That Works for You, Not Against You
Our Philadelphia dental practice uses the latest equipment to make your care:
- Faster: Digital everything means less waiting
- More comfortable: Advanced techniques minimize discomfort
- More accurate: Intraoral cameras show you exactly what we see
- Safer: Reduced radiation, hospital-grade sterilization
A Spa-Like Dental Experience
We've transformed the typical dental visit into something you might actually look forward to:
- Netflix and Entertainment: Watch your favorite shows during treatment on flat-screen TVs in every room
- Wireless Headphones: Block out dental sounds and immerse yourself in entertainment
- Comfort Essentials: Cozy blankets and warm, scented towels for ultimate relaxation
- Beverage Service: Complimentary refreshments to make your visit feel welcoming
- Calming Environment: Thoughtfully designed spaces that feel more like a wellness retreat than a dental office
