Your First Visit
Welcome to Lake State Dental! We are happy you have chosen us for your dental care needs. We look forward to getting to know you during your first appointment and providing you with exceptional oral healthcare.
Please look over the following information to ensure you know what to expect and are prepared for your first appointment.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
We love new patients! Your first visit is important to us. This appointment gives our dentists and team the opportunity to get to know you, talk with you about your medical history, and learn all about your smile goals.
New patient appointments include a consultation, examination, oral cancer screening, gum and soft-tissue evaluation, any necessary x-rays, and a discussion about the next steps for your treatment.
How To Prepare for Your First Appointment
To ensure your first day as a patient of Lake State Dental goes smoothly, we ask that you arrive prepared with the following information or send this information to our office before the day of your appointment:
Insurance cards and information
Copies of recent dental X-rays
A list of current prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, supplements, and vitamins you take
A list of any medical conditions that might be of concern to our dentists, such as high blood pressure, heart valves, joint replacements, etc.
Additionally, our new patient forms are available online for you to complete at your convenience before the time of your appointment. If you have not completed these before your first appointment, please arrive 10 minutes earlier so that you have ample time to fill out these forms.
We want your transition to our dental office to go as smoothly and easily as it possibly can. We’re always here to answer any questions you might have while preparing for your upcoming new patient appointment.
