If you are looking for a new dentist in Baton Rouge or Metairie, Pearl Dental Group makes it easier to understand your oral health and your treatment options.
New patients receive a complimentary comprehensive dental exam, full-mouth digital X-rays, and a 3D CBCT scan when clinically appropriate—a $450 value. This detailed evaluation helps our dentists examine your teeth, gums, bite, jawbone, and overall oral health before recommending care.
What Is Included in Your Free New Patient Dental Exam?
Your complimentary new patient evaluation may include:
- A comprehensive dental examination
- Full-mouth digital X-rays
- A 3D CBCT or CT scan when clinically appropriate
- An evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and bone health
- A review of your dental concerns and treatment goals
- Personalized treatment recommendations
- A discussion of treatment costs, insurance, and financing options
There is no charge for the exam or included diagnostic imaging for qualifying new patients. Any treatment recommended after the evaluation is separate and will be reviewed with you before care begins.
Why Does a Complete Dental Evaluation Matter?
A thorough first visit gives your dentist a clearer picture of your current oral health. Some concerns, including cavities between teeth, infections, bone loss, impacted teeth, and problems below the gumline, may not be visible during a visual examination alone.
Combining a clinical exam with digital imaging helps our team identify concerns earlier, explain what we see, and develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and understand your options before deciding how to proceed.
Why Pearl Dental Group Uses 3D CBCT Imaging
Traditional dental X-rays provide valuable two-dimensional information. A 3D CBCT scan allows our dentists to evaluate teeth, roots, jawbone, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures from multiple angles.
This technology can be especially helpful when planning:
- Dental implants and full-mouth implant treatment
- Tooth extractions and oral surgery
- Root canal treatment
- Evaluation of impacted wisdom teeth
- Complex restorative treatment
Imaging is recommended according to each patient’s clinical needs. Our dentists will determine which records are appropriate during your visit.

Our dental services include cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges, root canals, extractions, Invisalign, porcelain veneers, dentures, sedation dentistry, dental implants, and full-mouth reconstruction.

How the Complimentary Visit Helps You Plan Your Care
The goal of the first appointment is not simply to identify problems. It is to give you a clear understanding of your oral health and help you make informed decisions. Some patients need only preventive care, while others may benefit from restorative, cosmetic, periodontal, or implant treatment. Your dentist will explain which findings need prompt attention, which conditions can be monitored, and which options may best support your long-term health.
| Part of Your Visit | What It Helps Evaluate |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive exam | Teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and visible oral-health concerns |
| Full-mouth digital X-rays | Cavities, roots, bone levels, infections, and areas not visible during the examination |
| 3D CBCT scan when appropriate | Jawbone, sinuses, nerves, impacted teeth, and anatomy important for complex treatment planning |
| Personal consultation | Your priorities, possible treatment choices, expected sequence of care, and financial questions |
Please bring a current medication list, relevant medical information, dental insurance details, and any questions you want the dentist to address. If you have recent dental records or imaging from another office, let our team know when scheduling. We can explain whether those records may be helpful and what additional information may be needed.
