New patient questions

Have a question we haven't answered here? Get in touch and our team will be happy to help.

How early should I arrive for my first visit?

Please arrive about 10 minutes early so there's time to check in and go over any paperwork.

Can my records be transferred from my previous dentist?

Yes. Let us know who your previous dentist was, and with your permission we can request your records and x-rays.

I'm nervous about the dentist. What should I do?

Let us know when you book. We'll take things at your pace, explain each step, and make sure you're comfortable before we begin.

Will my insurance cover my visit?

Coverage depends on your plan. Bring your insurance details and our team can help you understand your benefits.
