What to Bring to Your Appointment
A little preparation can help make your first visit go smoothly. We recommend completing your patient forms ahead of time so our team can review your health history and spend more of your appointment focused on you.
Please bring:
- A valid photo ID
- Your dental insurance information, if applicable
- A list of any medications you currently take
- Recent dental X-rays or records from your previous dentist, if available
If you’re unsure what you need before your visit, just give our Prairieville team a call. We’re happy to help you get prepared.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment gives us a chance to get to know you and understand your current oral health, concerns, and goals. Depending on your individual needs, your visit may include:
- A review of your dental and medical history
- Digital X-rays to get a closer look at your teeth and supporting structures
- A thorough examination of your teeth and gums
- An evaluation for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns
- A professional cleaning, when appropriate
After your exam, your dentist will review the findings with you, explain any areas that may need attention, and discuss personalized recommendations for your care. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions so you can leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and what comes next.
Insurance and Financing Made Simple
Smart Dental Care accepts most major insurance plans and offers flexible financing options through Cherry, CareCredit, so cost never has to stand in the way of care. Our team will verify your benefits ahead of your visit and explain your coverage in plain language, so there are no surprises when it is time to check out. If you do not have insurance, our financing partners make it possible to spread the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments.
