New Patient Experience

What to Expect as a New Patient

Thank you for choosing Dental Partners of Vero Beach. You deserve the best, and we will do everything we can to exceed your expectations.

When you call our office to inquire about our services, our team members will begin getting to know you and your needs.  Our priority is you and your family and how we can assist with your complete dental care and overall health. The more we get to know you and your desires, the better it is for us to provide you and your family with the proper services and care.

After scheduling your initial visit, a Dental Partners representative will review what is needed for your appointment.

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

We ask that all new patient paperwork (button can be found at the bottom of this page) be filled out a minimum of 2 business days before your appointment, as the doctor will review these forms before your visit. 

DAY OF YOUR VISIT

• Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable), and your medical insurance card. Based upon your medical coverage, your insurance carrier may cover diagnostic testing that is prescribed and provided in our office.  All policies vary, we will investigate the potential coverage after receiving your information.  Please Note: We do not participate with Medicare or Medicaid for any services.
• Bring a list of any medications you are taking and the contact information of your pharmacy for prescriptions.
• If you need antibiotics before dental work, take them as prescribed. If you are not sure if you need antibiotics, please get in touch with your doctor prior to your visit.

At Dental Partners of Vero Beach, we never want finances to limit you from achieving optimal health, and one of our team members will be able to discuss all financial options with you prior to scheduling to ensure that treatment is affordable for you.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

Our office practices Complete Dental Care for Complete Health.  During this first visit, we reserve 90 minutes of time to be with you. 

We provide our patients with more than just exams and hygiene, we communicate with our patients. We look deeper into their dental and overall health beginning with extensive health information and sleep questionnaires followed by a personal consultation, diagnostic images, and a hands-on examination. 

Your new patient examination includes a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth, teeth, assessment of your gums, and bite. A full set of X-rays will be taken, and a complimentary 3D CBCT cone beam scan which captures detailed images and provides in-depth information about your oral health including an evaluation of your head, neck, jaw, sinuses, airway, the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and a pathology evaluation. 

Our Complete Care philosophy works with our patients by getting to know them and being available to treat them collaboratively with all medical, health and wellness matters in mind.  Medical diagnoses that are apparent and many times medical issues that our patients may not even be aware of at all play a role in complete dental care. It is not only the physical findings. We examine inclusive health and wellness to make sure our patients are taken care of collaboratively and comprehensively.

Upon completion of the exam, the doctor will review the results with you based on the findings. A customized treatment plan will be developed and presented with options for immediate concerns, recommended treatment that can be addressed over time, and any elective cosmetic services of interest. Our doctor coordinators will then schedule follow-up visits and any additional diagnostics you may need.

Your hygiene appointment is not scheduled on the same day as your initial consultation, as every hygiene visit is customized to meet your needs based on the doctor's initial evaluation. A hygiene appointment may be scheduled while completing your visit.

The comfort and ease of our patients of all ages is a top priority! We provide many elective comforts for our patients to make their experience during their appointments more relaxing and less stressful.  Our team is eager to provide any comforting item that is requested. Don’t hesitate to ask.

We look forward to having you and your entire family as part of our dental family and look forward to partnering with you to provide complete care for complete health.
