What To Expect During Your First Visit

Thank you for choosing our office for your oral healthcare needs! We are glad that you chose us and cannot wait to meet you!

At East Lake Family Dental, we want to make your dental visit as fast and efficient as possible. We know that your time is valuable and we strive to accommodate you at all times. Here are a few helpful tips to help streamline your visit with us!

Step 1: Complete Your New Patient Forms

Complete our patient forms on-line or print them, complete them and bring them with you to your appointment. This will expedite things upon arrival.

Step 2: Bring Your Insurance Information

Please bring any pertinent information regarding your dental insurance with you to your dental appointment. We will gladly file any dental insurance claims on your behalf as a courtesy to you.

Step 3: Arrive At Least 15 Minutes Early

Arriving early for your dental appointment helps us to address any issues with your dental insurance and/or medical history prior to your appointment time with the dentist or hygienist.

Step 4: Prepare Your Questions

Bring a list of questions or concerns you may have for the dentist or dental hygienist. This will help create a more thorough consultation, prevent any missing information and help us address your concerns properly.

Step 5: Relax, You're In Good Hands...

Our friendly dental team will welcome you to our office. If your appointment is with the dental hygienist, she will clean and polish your teeth, conduct a full examination and take x-rays. Afterward, the dentist will be consulted to check x-rays and conduct an additional examination of your teeth for signs of decay, check your gums for changes, and other signs of oral cancer or disease.

After the checkup is complete, the doctor will meet with you to discuss your X-Rays and recommendations to improve your overall dental health.  If additional treatment is required, you will be presented with a treatment plan and an estimate. We’ll schedule your next appointment for preventive care or for a respective procedure from your treatment plan.
