Office Visits

Your Child's First Visit

It is normal for a parent or child to have anxiety when first visiting the dentist. Our goal is to provide safe, gentle, and high quality care to your child. Our practice is tailored toward seeing anxious patients and to make dental visits an experience to be looked forward to. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the most current dental technology and safest sterilization procedures. Our office is also designed to provide a fun and calming environment for our young patients. From iPads to magnetic walls to prizes to goody bags and, most importantly  a well-trained staff, we strive to make your child feel at ease to provide safe, high quality care.

During your child's first visit, we will:

• Review dental/medical history forms and ask about any specific questions or concerns

• Complete a thorough exam of the teeth and mouth which may include X-rays of their teeth if needed

• Clean and polish your child's teeth, checking teeth and gums for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis

• Develop and discuss options to form a comprehensive treatment plan to address any issues

What to bring to the first appointment:

• Your insurance card

• A list of all medications, including dosages

• New Patient Forms*

Oral Dental Insurance & Financial Policy Disclosure

Full Payment for all dental services provided in our office is the responsibility of the patient and/or patient's parent or guardian. If you have a dental insurance plan, if requested, we will offer you an estimate of what your specific plan may contribute to your payment, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the estimate. We provide estimates only as a service to help you gauge your share of the cost of care for your child. Please understand that all insurance plans are not equal. Among the different insurance plans and even within the same company, there are  differences in rates and allowances and we can only estimate your plan's contribution. We have no way of knowing what the allowable fees are for companies with whom we are not contracted.

We submit insurance claims electronically at the end of each day. It is the responsibility of the patient or guardian to keep the insurance and personal information current in our files. Your estimated portion will be calculated by the computer and you will be responsible to pay that amount the day of service. We bill your insurance as a courtesy and you are responsible for the difference in fees.

Please let us know if you have any questions about your insurance coverage or payment options.
