What To Expect At Our Office
Your First Visit to LifeTime Smiles
Welcome to LifeTime Smiles! We are thrilled that you have chosen us for your dental care needs. Whether you are a new resident looking for a dental home, seeking specific dental treatments, or just overdue for a check-up, we understand that your first visit to a new dental office can bring a mix of emotions — from excitement to nervous anticipation. Here’s what you can expect during your first visit with us and how we ensure it’s a comfortable, productive, and stress-free experience.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
- Personalized Greeting and Tour: Upon arriving at LifeTime Smiles, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our friendly front office team. We believe in making every patient feel at home, so we’ll start by giving you a brief tour of our facility. This will help you become familiar with our office environment and alleviate any initial apprehension.
- Comprehensive Dental Evaluation: Your first appointment is key to establishing a solid foundation for ongoing dental care. It will begin with a comprehensive dental evaluation. This includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as an assessment of your overall oral health. We use the latest diagnostic tools to ensure accurate findings and effective treatment planning.
- Cleaning and Consultation: Most first visits will include a professional dental cleaning performed by one of our skilled dental hygienists. This cleaning removes any plaque and tartar buildup, polishes your teeth, and assesses the health of your gums. Following the cleaning, you’ll meet with either Dr. Sina Reangber or Dr. Scott Koo to discuss the results of your exam. This is a great time to ask questions or express any concerns you might have about your oral health.
- Treatment Planning: If any issues are identified during your exam, we will discuss them with you and suggest a comprehensive treatment plan. This plan will address immediate needs, ongoing treatments, and future aspirations for your dental health. We aim to provide solutions that are tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
What to Bring to Your First Appointment
To ensure that your first visit is as smooth and efficient as possible, here are a few important things to bring with you:
- Dental Insurance Information: If you have dental insurance, bring your card or documentation along with any necessary forms. This will help us to process any claims and discuss coverage options with you.
- Identification: A valid ID such as a driver’s license or another form of government-issued identification.
- Health History Information: Complete any health history forms we may have sent you prior to your appointment. If not, come prepared with knowledge of your past medical history, including any medications you are currently taking, as they can affect your treatment plan.
- Previous Dental Records: If possible, bring dental records, including X-rays, from your previous dentist. These can provide Dr. Reangber or Dr. Scott Koo with valuable insights into your dental history and care.
- List of Questions or Concerns: Write down any questions or concerns you might have about your dental health or treatments to ensure all your concerns are addressed during your consultation.
- A Form of Payment: For any co-pays or non-covered services, having your preferred form of payment ready can help streamline the checkout process.
