What to Expect as a New Patient
Welcome to Kensington Family Dentistry! We know choosing a new dental office is an important decision, and we want your first visit to feel comfortable, organized, and personalized.
Before Your First Visit
Complete Your Forms Online
Save time at your appointment by completing your new patient forms from the comfort of your home. This allows us to spend more time focusing on you when you arrive.
Transfer Your Dental Records
If you provide us with the name and contact information of your previous dentist, we can request your existing records and X-rays when available. This helps us review your dental history and avoid repeating information whenever possible.
Your First Visit
Your first visit begins with a conversation. We want to understand:
- What brought you to our office.
- Any concerns or symptoms you are experiencing.
- Your dental goals.
- Your past dental experiences.
- Any questions you have about your care.
We believe great dentistry starts with understanding each patient as an individual.
We'll perform a comprehensive exam and take any necessary X-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health. From there, we'll create a treatment plan that's personalized to your needs and goals.
From your first phone call to your first cleaning, we'll guide you every step of the way so you know exactly what to expect.
After your examination, we will review our findings with you and explain:
- What we see.
- Recommended treatment options.
- Benefits, risks, and alternatives.
- What happens if treatment is delayed.
We want you to have the information you need to make decisions that are right for you.
Insurance Information
Kensington Family Dentistry accepts most PPO dental insurance plans. Although we are not in-network with any insurance company, many PPO plans offer similar benefits whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network dentist. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits, estimate your coverage, and answer any questions you may have. Because every plan is different, we'll review your specific benefits with you before treatment so you know what to expect.
