Request an Appointment

What Should You Bring?

Photo Identification

Please bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or state-issued identification card, to help verify your information during check-in.

Dental Insurance Information

If you have dental insurance, bring your current insurance card and any relevant policy information. This helps the office review your benefits and assist with insurance-related questions.

Medical History and Medication List

Bring a list of medications you currently take, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements. Be prepared to share any medical conditions, allergies, or recent changes to your health.

Previous Dental Records and X-Rays

If you are transferring from another dental office, any available dental records or recent X-rays may help your dentist better understand your oral health history. Contact the office beforehand to determine whether these records are needed.

Completed Patient Forms

If new patient paperwork has been provided before your appointment, completing it in advance can help save time during check-in.

Questions or Concerns

Feel free to prepare a list of questions about your oral health, dental symptoms, or treatment options. Sharing your concerns helps the dentist better understand your needs and goals.

Preparing for Your First Visit

For your first appointment, consider arriving a few minutes early to allow time for check-in and any necessary paperwork. The dental team will review your health history, discuss your concerns, and help you understand the next steps in your dental care.
