New Patients

Before you arrive. We'll send your new patient forms by email so you can complete them at home. Bring your ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you take.

When you arrive. You'll be seated at your appointment time. We schedule so that people aren't stacked in a waiting room — if you're waiting more than a few minutes, something unusual has happened.

Your exam. A comprehensive evaluation: digital x-rays, a 3D scan if your situation calls for it, intraoral photos so you can see what we see on a screen, an oral cancer screening, and a gum health assessment.

The conversation. Dr. Whitecar walks you through what he found, using your own images. You'll hear what needs attention now, what can wait and be watched, and what's purely optional. We don't pad treatment plans.

Your plan and your numbers. Before you leave, you'll have a written treatment plan with costs attached, along with what we expect your insurance to cover if you have a plan. No decisions are made under pressure, and nothing gets scheduled until you say so.

We hold time every single day for emergencies and new patients. Broken tooth, lost crown, swelling, or pain that's keeping you awake — call us in the morning and we will do everything we can to see you the same day.
