At Pierce & Knight Family Dentistry, we’re thrilled to have you join our dental family. Whether you’re returning to dental care after a break or seeking a new home for your oral health needs, our team will ensure your first appointment is a positive and productive experience. We wanted to walk through ways you can prepare for your dental checkup to ensure a successful visit.

  1. Pre-Appointment Oral Hygiene

If you have the opportunity, a quick brush and floss can make your cleaning more comfortable. However, it’s not essential. Don’t stress if you can’t brush and floss immediately before your appointment. We understand that many of our patients are fitting dental visits into busy schedules. Our skilled hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth during your visit, regardless of your pre-appointment routine.

  1. Streamlined Registration Process

To make your first visit as efficient as possible, you can complete all necessary paperwork from the comfort of your home before your appointment. Simply visit our website and follow the straightforward instructions on our patient forms page. This saves time during your visit and allows you to provide your information at your own pace. If you encounter any questions or need assistance with the forms, our friendly team is just a phone call away, ready to guide you through the process.

  1. Understand Your Payment Options

Becoming familiar with your financial options is an important part of your dental care experience. If you have dental insurance, we recommend contacting us in advance to verify that we accept your insurance. We’re also more than happy to process your paperwork for you. If you don’t have insurance, make sure you ask about our third-party financing, which can help cover the costs of your care.

  1. Personalized Care Planning

Your first visit is an excellent opportunity to discuss any concerns you have about your oral health or goals you’d like to achieve for your smile. We encourage you to take some time before your appointment to jot down any questions or topics you’d like to address. Perhaps you’re interested in cosmetic improvements, have concerns about too sensitivity, or want to discuss options for replacing missing teeth. By preparing these thoughts in advance, you ensure that we can provide the most comprehensive and personalized care possible. Remember, no question or concern is too small – we’re here to listen and provide expert guidance.

  1. Stress-Free Arrival

To start your visit on the right foot, familiarize yourself with our location before the day of your appointment. We’re conveniently located west of I-35 and the Lenexa police station. If you’re using a GPS, double-check the address to ensure you’re headed to the correct location. Should you encounter any difficulties finding us on the day of your appointment, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our team will be more than happy to provide additional directions or landmarks to guide you.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team members, who will verify your information and guide you through any remaining paperwork. You’ll then meet with one of our experienced dental hygienists, who will thoroughly clean your teeth and take any necessary X-rays. Following this, one of our dentists will conduct a comprehensive exam, discuss any findings, and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, if needed.
