First Visit Expectations

Carrollton, TX Office: Carrollton Dental Studio

Richardson, TX Office: Trident Family Dentistry and Orthodontics

Welcome To Our Practice!

Your first visit isn’t just about us getting to know you, but an opportunity for you to learn more about our practice! We encourage our new patients to ask any questions they may have about their practice during their visit.

Our team will start your appointment by asking you some questions about your medical and dental history. Certain medical conditions or medications can impact your treatment plan, so we will also ask you to list any medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking and their dosages.

Your dentist will then perform a comprehensive oral exam. This may include x-rays and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease (gum disease) are present, one of our doctors will continue with a routine cleaning. If we do notice signs of periodontal disease, we may ask you to reschedule the cleaning portion of your appointment to allow more time for a thorough cleaning.

Once your exam is finished, your dentist will discuss their findings with you. Together, you will create a treatment plan that best fits your desires, while also giving you a healthy smile.

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, don’t feel guilty! You have made a great decision for your oral health.

We want you to feel relaxed during your visit. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable!

We love our patients.
They love our care and service.

I have been a patient of Dr. Linh since he bought the practice from the previous dentist, Dr. Griffin. Dr. Linh was on the faculty at his Alma Mater, the University of Washington, before moving to DFW. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Linh and his staff. I felt some pain one day and he saw me right away. Turns out I had a tooth crack from age and he said the crack went deep into the tooth. Luckily he saw me right away and was able to save the tooth and add a crown. Even my wife, who is hard to please, left her dentist of 15 years because Dr. Linh is so wonderful. If you are looking for a great dentist, go see him. I tease him all the time saying “I only like you because you have skinny fingers”. But really, you won’t be disappointed.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Linh Nguyen and his entire staff. Initially, I sought their services for a deep cleaning, but I was so impressed that I've decided to make him our permanent family dentist. Dr. Linh is incredibly thorough, compassionate, and informative. His expertise and caring demeanor were evident during the comprehensive examination for my daughter, husband and myself. The staff took the time to explain every aspect of our dental health and proposed clear, manageable treatment plans for each of us. Their professionalism and the friendly atmosphere of the entire clinic have won over my whole family. I highly recommend Dr. Linh for anyone seeking top-notch dental care and a trustworthy healthcare provider.
