Your First Visit



Elmhurst Smiles

Welcome to Elmhurst Smiles! We believe in keeping you well-informed, especially during your first visit. While your initial appointment is typically focused on gathering information, we prioritize not only your oral health but also your overall systemic health.

Unless you're experiencing pain, we'll start by conducting a comprehensive examination, which may include digital X-rays and intraoral photos to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Dr. Gotsch will also perform an oral cancer screening and evaluate your jaw joint (TMJ). Throughout the exam, he'll explain his findings in clear, easy-to-understand terms and encourage any questions you may have.

To ensure a smooth visit, we'll text your health and dental history forms beforehand, so please complete them in advance. Don't forget to bring your dental insurance card if applicable.

Our office is wheelchair accessible, and we're happy to accommodate any special needs you may have with advance notice. For pediatric appointments, please accompany your child or ensure a guardian is present.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at (630) 834-8055 or text us at (708) 401-6746. We're excited to meet you and provide you with exceptional dental care!
