If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at the dentist. Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Dental Excellence.
Your first visit is not only about our team getting to know you, but also about you getting to know our team. In the time we spend together, we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your care as individual as you are.
Part of getting to know you and providing safe, personalized support involves reviewing your medical history. Certain medical conditions and medications and can influence your treatment protocols – so you will be asked to provide a list of your medications and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements).
Next, a full-mouth series of x-rays and a comprehensive oral exam of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw will be performed, including a non-invasive oral cancer screening.
And if you haven’t been to a dentist in a long while, please don’t worry. You’ve made an important decision – no need to feel guilty!
Once your entire exam is completed, Dr. Frost will talk with you about his findings. Together you can create a healthy, effective treatment plan that best meets your dental and personal requirements. We can prioritize and stagger your treatments to give you the smile you need in a timeframe you can afford.
Finally, we want you to know we will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed and safe. Not only is your physical comfort important to us, but your emotional comfort is as well. So, come in, recline and unwind – you’re in great hands.
Treatment costs will vary depending on the particular treatment you receive. But we will discuss the cost and payment options with you before we start. You will never have surprises when it comes to your bill. The choice is always yours.
We want to help you receive the dental care you deserve. Your smile is as important to us as it is to you. We will work with you to place the care you need within your budget. We also have financing options available so you can get the aid you need, when you need it.
If you need assistance or have questions about your insurance policies or claims, our staff is knowledgeable and always available to help you. We want you to get the most out of your budget, so we work with your insurance provider to ensure you get the best coverage available to you.
