Your First Visit

Thoughtful, Thorough, and Entirely About You

At Ott Family Dentistry, your first appointment isn’t just a check-up — it’s a foundation for long-term wellness. We’re proud to be known throughout Pittsburgh’s North Hills as one of the most comprehensive dental offices in the area, offering everything in-house — so you never need to be referred out.

Your new patient visit is a relaxed, one-on-one experience with the doctor, focused on your concerns, your comfort, and your full health.

What’s Included in a Comprehensive New Patient Appointment

You’ll spend a full, uninterrupted hour with your doctor — no rush, no judgment. During your visit, we’ll take time to fully understand your oral health, lifestyle, and goals.

Your visit includes:

Oral cancer screening — early detection is wellness-focused care
Head, neck, and intraoral exam — evaluating muscles, joints, and tissues
Intraoral photos — visual records to track changes and inform care
Extraoral photos — assess facial symmetry and bite alignment
Digital diagnostic X-rays — detailed insights into teeth and bone health

Every step is designed to be comfortable, informative, and empowering — whether you’re seeking routine care or a more complex solution like full mouth reconstruction.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Following your exam, we’ll walk through your images and findings together — clearly and transparently. If treatment is needed, we’ll co-create a plan that fits your timeline, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

We’re here to help you make confident choices — and that starts with clarity, not pressure.

Financial Clarity, Always

We believe premium dental care should come with premium transparency.

Clear treatment estimates: You'll receive detailed breakdowns of any recommended care before we begin.
Flexible payment options: We accept all major credit cards. Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements are made.
Insurance-friendly: We work with most major insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your benefits.
No surprises: Every cost is explained up front — no hidden fees, ever.

Whether you’re investing in Invisalign or addressing dental anxiety with oral or IV sedation, we’re committed to helping you feel comfortable — financially and emotionally.

Testimonials

"Dr. Gupta has been my dentist for the past several years since I moved back to Pittsburgh. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also empathetic and caring. It's important to him that I understand why he makes the suggestions he does and how it will benefit my health. He believes in patient empowerment by providing you all the information you need to make an informed decision, and never pushes treatments or quick fixes. My teeth and gums are the healthiest they have been in my life because of his care. I highly recommend him to friends and family."

"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gupta and staff. My daughter was a little nervous about her visit, but the staff made her feel so comfortable and at ease. They were patient, kind, and explained everything in a way that made her feel confident. The office was clean, welcoming, and efficient—we didn't have to wait long, and the care was excellent. My daughter left smiling and actually looking forward to her next appointment. Highly recommend Dr. Gupta!"

- Melinda B.

"I am a patient of Dr. Gupta at Ott Family Dentistry, which he joined this summer. I had been going to his former office, but since I feel comfortable under his care, I decided to transfer to Ott to continue. Dr. Gupta set out a plan for my treatment, explained everything that is involved, and doesn’t hesitate to answer any questions that I might have. His manner is gentle and checks in often during a procedure to ensure that I am comfortable. He seems to genuinely enjoy being with people and is enthusiastic about his profession. The physical office is airy and calming. His experienced staff puts one at ease. I feel fortunate to have been directed to him after the retirement of my former dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Gupta."

- Janice K.

"I had been going to the Ott family for dental work for generations. When a new dentist took over, I was anxious and upset. The hygienist was efficient and excellent. The crowns Dr. Gupta put in, first the temporary and then the permanent, were so smooth and perfect, I was impressed. Don't be afraid. Call and give them a try. I'm very glad I put my trust in them and relieved I don't have to find a new dentist."

- Kathy W.

"Melissa is great, so professional & very personable. Does a great job. Great dental care. Dr Gupta, Susan and the whole team at this office are fantastic. If you’re considering dental care….look no further, this is the place. If I could give them more star's I would."

- Ruth B.

"Everyone is exceptional in this office. Dr. Gupta makes you feel welcome and is very interested in your well being. He is professional and explains what's is going on throughout the procedure. This office is professionally run and very modern. I am always happy with the results from both Dr. Gupta and the hygienists."

- Bob B.

"Doctor Gupta is really great with his patients. Very professional and personable. I was very impressed with a technique he used for giving anesthesia - absolutely painless! Staff is just as amazing. Everyone is very friendly. Highly recommend."

- Bernard P.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Gupta and his team enough! Dr. Gupta is incredibly gentle, thorough, and takes the time to address any concerns, ensuring that I feel at ease during my visit. My hygienist, Melinda, is equally amazing—she's gentle, explains every step of the process, and makes the experience so comfortable. The office is equipped with the newest equipment and the latest technology, which is something I truly value. It’s clear that they prioritize their patients' care and stay ahead of advancements in dentistry."

- Renee W.

"Dr. Samir Gupta actually changed my life. I have struggled for years with TMJ and was seen by several Oro-maxillary doctors who recommended injections and pills. I couldn’t eat!!! I was referred to Dr. Gupta and he took every single complaint of mine seriously. Worked with me to comprehensively evaluate my mouth. Identified the contributing cause to my pain and intervened. Within days I saw a noticeable difference in my pain. Throughout treatment, I had my wedding and he was so cautious and careful to make sure I liked my smile come wedding day, while treatment was ongoing. He is kind, empathetic, and provides such person-centered care. If I had not met him I would still be suffering!"
