Welcome New Patients

We’re so glad you’re here. At Rana Dental, we believe your oral health is an essential part of your whole-body wellness. From your very first visit, our mission is to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your care.

What Makes Rana Dental Different

At Rana Dental, your visit is far more than a routine checkup. We take a comprehensive, preventive, whole-health approach, focusing on how your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, airway, and overall health work together.

Your new-patient experience includes:

  • A warm welcome and comfortable environment

  • Whole-health and airway screening

  • Digital health scan

  • Digital X-rays taken as part of your exam

  • Intraoral photos

  • Gum and bone evaluation

  • Review of medical history, concerns, and goals

  • Personalized recommendations from Dr. Rana or Dr. K

If the doctor identifies bite, airway, or developmental concerns, they may recommend scheduling a separate orthodontic evaluation appointment for a more detailed assessment.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is designed to give our doctors a complete understanding of your oral health and create a care plan tailored to your needs.

1. Warm Welcome & History Review

We begin by reviewing your medical and dental history and discussing any symptoms, concerns, or goals.

2. Comprehensive Exam

Dr. Rana or Dr. K will evaluate:

  • Your teeth, existing restorations, and enamel health

  • Gum tissue and bone support

  • Bite function and jaw joint health

  • Airway and breathing patterns

  • Signs of clenching, grinding, or inflammation

3. Digital Records & Imaging

For accurate diagnosis and proactive care, every new patient appointment includes:

  • Digital X-rays

  • Digital health scan

  • Intraoral photos

4. Gum & Bone Health Evaluation

We assess for periodontal (gum) disease and measure the stability of the bone supporting your teeth.

5. Personalized Treatment Plan

Your doctor will explain any findings clearly, answer all questions, and outline a customized care plan focused on prevention and long-term health.

Technology That Elevates Your Care

We use advanced, modern technology to make your experience more comfortable, precise, and proactive:

  • iTero® digital scanning

  • Digital X-rays

  • Solea® laser for gentler soft-tissue procedures

  • CEREC® same-day crowns

  • Dental Monitoring™ for Invisalign progress tracking

This allows Dr. Rana and Dr. K to diagnose early, treat proactively, and help prevent more serious problems later on.

Forms & What to Bring

Once your appointment is scheduled, all new patient forms will be sent to you electronically. Completing these forms in advance allows Dr. Rana and Dr. K to review your health history, understand your concerns, and get to know you better before your visit — making your experience smoother and more personalized.

Most patients do not need to bring anything with them.
However, if you are unable to provide a complete list of your current medications on your new patient forms, please bring that list with you to your appointment.

Everything else will already be completed online, so you can simply check in and relax when you arrive.

Your Health. Your Comfort. Your Smile.

We’re honored to be a part of your wellness journey. Dr. Rana, Dr. K, and our entire team are committed to providing a personalized, supportive, and comfortable experience at every visit.
