Welcoming New Patients to Our Family!
Thank You for Choosing Knellinger Dental Excellence
As a family of dentists, we are more inclined to treat our patients like family. We want you to feel comfortable as soon as you walk through the door. A big part of feeling relaxed comes from knowing what to expect and feeling prepared. That is why you will be greeted promptly by one of our friendly and knowledgeable team members who will guide you through your first appointment. You will be introduced to the dentist in a private office and allowed time to discuss your smile goals and dental concerns with him or her. We will then discuss your medical and dental history as disclosed on your new patient forms. For your convenience, and out of respect for your time, all of our new patient forms are available online.

Your First Visit to Our General Dentist
Whether you are scheduled to visit Dr. Dan Knellinger, Dr. Stacey Verkler, or Dr. Carol Bou-Sliman, you can expect exceptional dental care. Our doctors will take the time to listen to your dental concerns and expectations and perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and bite. Your dentist will look for problems that could compromise your teeth and supporting structures. We will take digital photos of your teeth and smile so you can see what the dentist sees, as well as recommended x-rays to examine areas of your teeth that cannot be examined with the naked eye. Our doctors will also take expert care to examine the health of your gums and supporting tissues.
We are committed to continuing education and advanced dentistry techniques, but most of all we are dedicated to building relationships with our patients. Your health and well-being come first and we are pleased to sit with you in a consultation, discussing the concerns and goals you have for an improved smile.
