NEW PATIENT INFORMATION


Why is visiting the dentist regularly so important?

Regular dental appointments are more important than many people realize. Evidence has shown a correlation between the bacteria in your mouth and many health risks. Current research has linked poor oral health to diverse problems such as heart disease, pre-term births, and strokes. Our well trained, experienced dental hygienists take pride in providing gentle, thorough care. Your first appointment, and every subsequent visit, is more than just a cleaning. We will work with you to choose treatments that will restore and maintain all aspects of your oral well-being.

What can I expect at my dentist visit?

Your appointment may include:

  • Review of medical history (please inform us of any and all changes. Also, please bring a list of current medications and those you have been on for the previous 2-3 months.

  • Radiographs as necessary (x-rays)

  • Intra-oral photos

  • Oral cancer screening

  • Gum (periodontal) disease probing

  • Evaluation of the bite

  • Assessment of existing fillings or crowns

  • Examination for evidence of new damage

  • Removal of plaque, tartar, and surface stains

  • Floss and polish of teeth

  • Personal oral hygiene instruction

  • Cleaning and evaluation of dental appliances as necessary

  • Fluoride or other medicament

  • Testing for levels of bacteria with Carifree Products

  • Discussion of cosmetic options

  • Treatment planning for present and future dental needs

What should I do to prepare for my dental appointment?

At Liberty Hill Dental, we strive to make your dental visit as convenient and comfortable as possible. When you schedule your appointment, our scheduling coordinator will give you instructions on how to best prepare for your appointment. If you have not yet scheduled your appointment with our office or if you have any questions, please call us today!

How does Liberty Hill Dental send appointment reminders?

We use a reminder system that will notify you by email, text and phone call from the time your appointment is scheduled until 2 hours prior to your appointment. This system gives you the option to confirm your appointment through email, then through text with a friendly reminder 2 hours prior to your appointment. Once you have confirmed your appointment (either through the emailed link or by texting back “C” to confirm), you will only receive reminders.

Note: If any other phrase is used to confirm (ie. “Yes”, “OK” or “See you then”, “Need to Reschedule”, etc.) the system will not recognize that response. You must press “C” to confirm, or “STOP” to completely opt out of the reminder notification process.

In the event that you respond with the phrase “STOP”, be aware this will completely opt you out of any reminder notifications for all future appointments until you inform us to turn it back on.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call the office.

Please make sure your information is correct and update our staff with any contact information changes, such as address, email or phone number changes to ensure you receive your reminders.

What payment options are available for my visit to the dentist?

Financial constraints should never prohibit regular dental care. We work with our patients on financial arrangements to make sure your treatment plan works within your budget. Our front office staff members are familiar with available options and will carefully discuss which of them may be appropriate for your situation.
