What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment at McLemore & McLemore, DDS is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and informative. We start by taking the time to get to know you — your dental history, your health background, any concerns you have, and what you hope to achieve with your smile. This helps us create a dental plan that is tailored specifically to your individual needs rather than a generic one-size-fits-all approach.
During your initial appointment, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. This includes a careful examination of your teeth and gums, a review of your medical and dental history, and any necessary digital X-rays or panoramic X-rays to give us a complete picture of your oral health. We also perform an oral cancer screening as part of your exam. Depending on the condition of your teeth and gums, we may also complete your professional cleaning at this first visit.
After your examination, your dentist will sit down with you to discuss the findings and walk you through your treatment options — clearly, thoroughly, and without pressure. We believe strongly in informed decision-making, and we want you to feel confident in every choice you make about your dental care.

We offer a full comfort menu of amenities — including warm neck wraps, paraffin hand treatments, massage chair pads, and more — to help you relax during your visit. For patients who experience dental anxiety, we are particularly experienced at putting nervous patients at ease and can discuss nitrous oxide sedation options if needed.
We also accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible financial options including CareCredit financing, so getting the care you need fits your budget. Contact McLemore & McLemore, DDS in Jackson, TN at (731) 424-2651 to schedule your first appointment — we can’t wait to meet you.
