New patients
Your first visit should feel prepared before you arrive.
Call the office, complete your forms, bring a few basics, and arrive knowing what comes next. We keep the process simple on purpose so the visit itself is quiet and focused on your health.
A short phone call sets up a simpler visit.
Sara, Kasey, Francine, or Maggie can confirm what type of appointment fits your situation and send the right Dental Intel forms.
Prepared, not rushed
Before your first appointment
First visit checklist.
A short, plain-language checklist so the visit runs without surprises.
Forms
After you call, Dental Intel forms can be sent by email or text. You can also complete paperwork at the office when you arrive.
Bring
Photo ID, insurance card if applicable, and a current medication list.
Arrival
Arrive five to ten minutes early so the front desk can confirm forms and answer practical questions.
Tone
The first visit is not a sales pitch. It is a conversation, an exam, and a clear explanation of what your mouth needs.
Insurance, said up front
Plain-language insurance before the visit.
Dunning Family Dental is not in-network with dental insurance plans, but we submit claims as a courtesy. Patients pay the practice at the visit, then insurance reimburses the patient directly according to the plan. CareCredit is accepted. Medicaid and Fidelis are not accepted. For specific questions, call with your plan details and the front desk will walk through what to expect.
Insurance and paymentCareCredit
Accepted as a payment option for treatment plans that benefit from spreading the cost over months.
Not accepted
Medicaid and Fidelis are not accepted. Call the office with any other insurance question.
Visit flow
A calmer first visit, step by step.
By the time you are in the chair, most of the administrative work is done. The visit itself is what it should be: a conversation about your health, followed by careful care.
