Family Dentist in Rome, GA: What to Expect on Your First Visit

Family Dentist in Rome, GA: What to Expect on Your First Visit

We see kids, teens, and adults in one Rome office. One team for cleanings, exams, sealants, fillings, and restorative care as needs change over the years.

Here is what to expect at a first visit with a family dentist in Rome, GA. For a broader overview, see family dental care in Rome.

Call (706) 235-8687 or request an appointment and tell us it is a first visit for your household.

What the first visit usually includes

  • An exam and conversation (with a parent present for kids)
  • Digital x-rays when needed
  • Cleaning discussion and sealants when they fit
  • A clear next step if something needs a filling, crown, or other treatment

Once you are established, we recommend visits every 3–6 months. If something already hurts and you are new, say so when you book. We handle the urgent issue first, then schedule the full new-patient exam. More on getting started: New Patients.

Who you will see

Dr. Will Edwards (DMD, FICOI) grew up in Rome. Dr. Lauren Lindsey (DMD) grew up in Cedartown. She has been part of this office since 2020 (years on the team before dental school), completed her DMD in May 2026, and now practices here.

Two dentists means more appointment options for your household.

Why families choose one office

Preventive visits build the relationship. Crowns, root canals, extractions, and implant plans, when they are needed, stay with the same team whenever the case fits. Overview: Treatment.

If dental visits make you tense, we offer an oral sedation pill for qualifying visits. A driver is required.

How to prepare

  • Bring insurance information if you have it. We file with any insurance provider and provide pre-estimates for more involved procedures.
  • List medications and health updates.
  • Note any tooth pain so we can prioritize it.
  • For kids, a short, calm explanation of the visit usually helps.

We accept cash, personal checks, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and CareCredit. More detail: Insurance.
