New Patient Questions
What should I bring to my first appointment?
It’s helpful to have a photo ID, your insurance card (if you have dental insurance), a list of current medications, and a general sense of your dental and medical history, including any allergies.
How long does a first visit usually take?
A new patient visit is often longer than a routine checkup, since it typically includes a full exam, X-rays, and time to discuss your dental history — many offices set aside 60 to 90 minutes.
Do I need X-rays at my first visit?
Most offices take X-rays for new patients if they don’t have recent ones on file, since imaging helps establish a baseline for your dental health going forward.
What if I have dental anxiety?
Let the office know when you schedule or check in. Many dental providers are experienced in helping anxious patients feel more comfortable, and it’s worth mentioning upfront.
Can I request an appointment without insurance?
Yes — the appointment request form doesn’t require insurance information. If you don’t have dental insurance, the office you’re connected with can discuss your options directly.
