01 / A first visit, made easier

There’s no script you need to follow. Just start where you are.

Your first visit

Let’s take it
one step at a time.

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of appointment you need. A conversation with your preferred office is a good place to start.

Choose a place that works for you.

We have offices in Auburn, Gray, and Portland. Book online, or call the office you’d like to visit if you’d rather talk with someone first.

Tell us what’s on your mind.

A routine visit, a specific concern, or uncertainty about where to begin: let the team know when you schedule. They can share what to expect and whether there’s anything helpful to have ready.

Ask every question you have.

Questions about your care, comfort, insurance, or cost are worth asking. Reach out before your visit so you can make decisions with more clarity.

Care starts with listening.

No judgment. Just care.

You’re more than
a dental history.

It’s easy to put off an appointment when you’re nervous about what someone might say. You can leave that worry at the door. Our focus is on understanding what matters to you and helping you move forward, without a lecture.

Come as you are.

We’ll begin there.

A little more at ease

Comfort is part
of the conversation.

Dental visits can feel like a lot. Tell your preferred office what would help you feel at ease, ask what to expect, and confirm which comfort options are currently available for your visit.

Talk with your office

Before you book

Let’s talk about
the practical things.

Insurance

Know what applies to you.

Insurance details can be specific to your plan. Call your preferred office with your plan information to ask about current participation, how benefits may be coordinated, and what you may be responsible for. Your insurer can confirm the terms of your coverage.

Payment

Ask before your appointment.

If you have questions about fees or paying for care, the office can discuss current payment arrangements and help you understand what to ask about before treatment. We won’t make assumptions about your coverage or costs here.

Scheduling

Plans change. Let us know.

For questions about changing an appointment or current office policies, call the team directly so you have the most up-to-date information.

Good questions to ask

Wondering
about something?

Chances are, someone else has asked it too.

I haven’t been to the dentist in a while. Is that okay?

Yes. You don’t need a perfect dental history to get started. Tell us what’s on your mind, and we’ll meet you where you are.

What will happen at my first visit?

Your visit depends on what brings you in. When you schedule, tell the office what you’re looking for or what concerns you. The team can help you understand what to expect for your appointment.

Can I ask about comfort options?

Of course. Let your office know what would make you more comfortable and ask what is currently available for your visit. Specific amenities should be confirmed with your preferred office.

Do you take my insurance?

Coverage and participation can vary by plan and office. Call the office you’d like to visit with your insurance details; the team can help you understand what to verify before booking.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

You can still call to talk through your options. Ask your preferred office about expected costs and current payment arrangements before you schedule. We don’t want you to have to guess.

What if I need to change my appointment?

Please call your office as soon as you know your plans have changed. The team can explain current scheduling and cancellation terms directly.

Still have a question? Your office would be happy to talk.
