When you’re a new patient, you have a lot of questions, you may feel a bit hesitant, and you’re mostly just hoping for a wonderful experience with dental care! To help you achieve some much needed optimism, we offer tips that will help you arrive at your first visit with us with a smile on your face.
Tip: Call Your Insurance Company
If you have question about the coverage your insurance benefits offer for dental care, we encourage you to contact your insurance company early. As a new patient, we can respond to questions about whether we submit to your particular insurance carrier. As for the details regarding what types of treatments your plan will help with or cover, you’ll feel more relaxed about what you can say “yes” to if you already have answers from your insurance company’s customer service.
Tip: Bring A List With You
Have you been wondering about which type of toothbrush to buy? Do you wonder if you’re a candidate for veneers? Did you read something online about flossing and you want answers from a dental professional about it? Bring a list with you about anything that you would like to discuss with us. That way, you’ll go home informed (instead of wishing you’d remembered everything you tried so hard to remember).
Tip: Don’t Worry
Are you scared that we might diagnose you with your very first cavity? Have you been avoiding dental care for several years and you’re worried about our reaction? Whatever types of concerns are floating in your mind, do your best to put them to rest. The only thing we’re concerned about is seeing existing and new patients, so we can provide necessary dental care. We’re gentle, we’re kind, we’re goal-oriented, and we just want you to smile a very healthy smile!
