We Are Glad You Found Us
Choosing a new dentist is an important decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. At Smiles of Punta Gorda, we have been welcoming new patients to our practice since 2002, and we work hard to make sure every first visit sets the tone for a long and comfortable relationship. Whether you are coming in for a routine checkup, seeking a second opinion, or looking for a dental home for your entire family, our team is ready to take exceptional care of you.
We serve patients from Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, North Fort Myers, Fort Ogden, Arcadia, and the surrounding communities, and we can often schedule new patients as early as the next day.
Special Offers for New Patients
- Free Second Opinions
If you have received a diagnosis or treatment recommendation from another dentist and want to be sure before moving forward, we offer free second opinions for new patients. A full set of X-rays and a treatment plan from your current provider are required. Please mention this when calling to schedule. - Free Denture Consultations
Considering dentures or implant-supported dentures? We offer complimentary consultations to help you understand your tooth replacement options, expected outcomes, and associated costs with no pressure or obligation.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We want your first appointment to be comfortable, informative, and completely stress-free. Here is a general overview of what your initial visit will include:
- A Comprehensive Exam
Dr. Martin or Dr. Johnson will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This gives us a full picture of where you are starting from and what your smile needs going forward. - Digital X-rays
We will take low-radiation digital X-rays to get a detailed look at what is happening beneath the surface. These images help us identify issues that are not visible to the naked eye and allow us to plan your care accurately. - A Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your exam and X-rays, your dentist will walk you through their findings and discuss any recommended treatments. We take the time to explain everything clearly and answer all your questions before any decisions are made. - A Cleaning
In most cases, your first visit will also include a professional cleaning performed by one of our experienced hygienists to remove buildup and leave your teeth feeling fresh.
Complete Your Forms Before You Arrive
To make your first visit as smooth as possible, we encourage new patients to complete their paperwork in advance. You can download and fill out our new patient forms before your appointment and bring them with you on the day of your visit.

We work with a wide range of dental insurance plans and will do our best to maximize your benefits. Our front office team is happy to verify your coverage, explain your out-of-pocket costs, and answer any billing questions before treatment begins.
For patients without insurance or those facing larger treatment costs, we offer flexible financing options to help make your care affordable. We believe cost should never stand between you and a healthy smile.
