First Visit
Thank you for choosing Livermore Dental Spa! Our team looks forward to working with you, and we feel privileged to join you on your oral healthcare journey.
Before your first appointment, we welcome you to browse our website to learn more about the services and treatments we offer and what sets our dental practice apart from others. We also encourage you to read through this page to learn more about how to prepare and what you can expect at your first appointment with us.
What To Bring to Your First Appointment
To help our office staff complete your patient file, we ask that you bring the following documents and information to your first appointment:
- Identification
- Your dental health insurance identification card or policy if you would like us to bill your insurance on your behalf.
- New patient forms (available on our website or in our office to complete at the time of your appointment)
- Medical history and a list of your current medications and supplements
If you plan to fill out your new patient forms in our office at the time of your appointment, we recommend arriving for your appointment a few minutes earlier to ensure you have ample time to complete this paperwork.
Additionally, all patients who are under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a legal parent or guardian.
What To Expect During Your First Visit
During your first visit, we take special care to ensure you become thoroughly acquainted with our office and dental practice. We want you to feel comfortable with the care you are receiving and have all your questions answered.
During your first appointment, our dentists work to establish a solid baseline of your dental and general health, getting acquainted with your medical and dental records and examining your teeth and gums. We also talk with you about any past or present concerns you might have with your oral health and your current oral health goals so that we can set you up with an appropriate treatment plan designed to meet your dental care needs while helping you achieve your smile goals.
Depending on why you are visiting Livermore Dental Spa for the first time, the exact components of your appointment might vary. For example, appointments for a routine examination and cleaning differ from the first appointments needed for addressing specific concerns such as pain, periodontal disease or cosmetic treatments.
Regardless of the type of new patient appointment for which you are scheduled, our team ensures you are informed about what to expect and the next steps for your dental care.
