Your First Visit as a New Patient Sets the Tone for a Lifetime of Better Dental Care
We know choosing a new dentist is a big decision. Whether you’re new to the area, searching for a more personalized experience, or simply ready to prioritize your health again, welcome. At Encompass Dental and Wellness, our goal is to make you feel seen, cared for, and confident from the moment you walk through our doors.

What makes Encompass Different?
It starts with our team—Dr. Frederick Thurston, Dr. Parker Duke, and Dr. Ashley Agnini, bring together decades of clinical expertise and a shared belief that great dentistry starts with great relationships.
We’re not a corporate chain or a one-size-fits-all office. At Encompass, we take time to understand your history, goals, and any concerns you may have.
Your First Appointment: What to expect.
As a new patient, your first visit is designed to give us a complete picture of your oral health, and give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
Here’s what you can expect:
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation about your dental and wellness goals
A thorough exam, including digital radio graphs, and a full evaluation of teeth, gums, and jaw
Oral cancer screening and bite alignment checks
A review of your medical history and any symptoms you may be experiencing
Time for questions, education, and personalized treatment planning
We’ll never rush you, and we’ll always explain options clearly, so you can make informed decisions about your care.

What if I have anxiety or haven't seen a Dentist in a while?
You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
We specialize in helping patients who’ve had negative past experiences, dental anxiety, or haven’t been to the dentist in years. Our compassionate approach, calming environment, and advanced technology make even complex treatments feel manageable.
Insurance, Memberships & Affordability.
We accept most major insurance plans, offer multiple financing options, and have an in-house membership plan designed to make high-quality care accessible without the red tape.
