Welcome. Here is what to expect.
New to us? Here is what happens, what to bring and the forms to fill in, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
Accepting new patients
Your first visit
Plan on about an hour and a half for the first visit. Checkups after that take about an hour.
- Come about fifteen minutes early, or fill in the forms below at home and bring them.
- We take any X-rays you need, unless your last dentist can send recent ones.
- The dentist checks your teeth and gums and talks you through what they see.
- Most first visits include a cleaning with one of our hygienists.
- Before you leave, you get a written plan with costs for anything we suggest, and time to think about it.
What to bring
- A photo ID
- Your dental insurance card, if you have one
- A list of the medicines you take
- The name of your last dentist, so we can ask for your records
- Reading glasses, if you use them for paperwork
Forms
Filling them in at home saves you time at the front desk. Bring them with you; please don't email them to us.
- New patient registration PDF
Two pages: contact details and insurance.
- Health history PDF
Bring it to your visit. Please do not email it.
- Records release from your last dentist · ask at the front desk
We fill this one in with you at the desk.
Good to know
- We see children from their first tooth. Parents are welcome in the room.
- Nervous about the dentist? Tell us when you book. We go at your pace and explain each step before we start.
- If you need to cancel, please call a day ahead so we can offer the time to someone else.
Questions before you come?
