Once scheduled, we will confirm within 24 hours and then again the day before the appointment.
Be sure to have your previous dentist to to send over any records and xrays you had on file there and bring a list of any medications you take (if you didn’t include them in your online paperwork) and any removable dental appliances you have.
Your new patient appointment will consist of a comprehensive evaluation and a full mouth series of xrays, after which we will diagnose any necessary treatment, determine what type of cleaning you require, and present you with a treatment plan that details your copays or other out of pocket costs.
During this appointment, we examine your entire mouth, not just your teeth. This helps us detect infections, gum diseases, or even oral cancers. We can also indicate markers for diabetes, lung and heart disease.
At the conclusion of your visit, we will submit any pre-authorizations needed to your insurance company and schedule your next appointment! We look forward to establishing you as a patient at Gentle Dental!
