newbie: ADD vs. MODIFY

I just want to make sure I'm using LDAP the way it was meant to be used:

ldapadd chokes if the entry exists already, 

ldapmodify is meant for existing entries.

So to add a new entry I first search the entire database to see if it
exists, then call either ldapadd or ldapmodify accordingly?  This is very
slow, but I understand that LDAP is meant for fast recall, not fast
entering.
