Barsanti Dental Group welcomes new patients in and around Fortuna, California, to our modern dental office, curated for optimal comfort. Dr. Trish Barsanti and her team strive to ensure you feel at ease visiting us. We collaborate with you to provide a personalized treatment plan that considers your input and unique dental needs. Whether you are here for a routine dental check-up or a specific dental treatment, you can expect exceptional dental care.
What should I expect during my dental visit?
After a warm welcome from our team, we’ll help you complete the necessary paperwork. However, you can skip this step by completing our new patient online form before your appointment. Expect a patient-driven approach in our office. We don’t touch any tool until we chat with you first. We’ll discuss your medical and dental history and listen to your expectations. This will end up with a treatment plan that works for you, meets your goals, and fits your budget.
After the initial discussion, the rest of your treatment involves:
- Examination: Our comprehensive exam inspects your jaw joints, jawbone, bite, and muscles because structural deformities or misalignments in these structures can cause TMJ pain and other health complications. We’ll also inspect your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, bruxism, and other issues. Our visual exams are thorough because the dentist uses an intraoral camera to inspect even the trickiest corners of your mouth.
- Digital X-rays: We’ll take dental X-rays to detect tooth impaction, bone recession, development issues, tooth position, and other issues hidden from the naked eye.
- Treatment planning: The dentist will discuss the findings of your dental exam and work with you to devise a treatment plan to restore your oral health. Whether it’s gum disease, tooth loss, decay, or damage, we’ll help you achieve optimal oral wellness.
- Dental hygiene care: Your treatment planning may include hygiene care, especially if this hasn’t been done in the past six months. There are two types. A scale and polish clean (oral prophylaxis) is preventive for patients without periodontal disease. We recommend deep teeth cleaning (scaling and root planing) for patients with moderate to severe gum disease.

What financial information do I need to know?
We know many patients puzzle over treatment costs, but our office makes dental care fit within your budget. Our pricing is transparent, and we always provide a detailed treatment estimate before any procedures begin. We believe in clear communication—no surprises when it comes to your dental care.
Additionally, we accept numerous payment modes and work with various dental benefit providers to help make treatment more accessible. What if you don’t have a dental benefit plan or have run out of coverage? No problem! You can still access affordable dental care with our in-house wellness program.
With an annual one-off cost, you can enjoy all preventive care treatments and a 15% discount on other treatments. Unlike dental benefits, our in-house membership plan has no waiting period, annual maximums, or deductibles! We also accept CareCredit, which allows you to afford treatment with low-cost monthly payments. With us, cost will never stand in the way of achieving a healthy, confident smile.
