THE NEW PATIENT EXPERIENCE

 

Dentists Accepting New Patients in Kelowna

Do you remember the first time you walked into your previous dentist’s office? Probably not. We are here to change that and create a memorable patient experience. One where you feel comfortable, heard and confident in your dental care.

The new patient experience at Knox Mountain Dentistry is uniquely designed, and we believe that it allows us to get to know you as a person and not just your oral health needs. At this appointment, you will meet with Dr. Sanders one-on-one and have a complete and thorough assessment. We will discuss any specific concerns you may have and answer any questions that come up along the way.

FAQs About New Patient Experience

1How do I prepare for my new patient appointment at home?
A few days before your visit, make a list of questions you want to ask. You can also review your medical and dental history so you remember important details. On the day of your appointment, arrive a little early to relax and fill out any needed forms without rushing.
2Do I need to bring anything to my new patient appointment?
To your new patient appointment, it’s a good idea to bring your dental insurance information and any records from your previous dentist if you have them. If you’ve had recent X-rays or treatments, bringing those records can help your new dentist understand your situation better. Having this information ready can help make your first visit smooth and efficient.
3Will my first visit include treatment, or is it just an exam?
Most new patient visits start with a quick conversation and a detailed assessment, and not with treatment of any kind. This appointment focuses on understanding your oral health and identifying areas that may need care. If treatment is needed, your dentist will discuss options and help you make a plan that works for you before moving forward.
4How long should I expect my first dental appointment to take?
A typical new patient visit can take longer than a regular check-up because of the thorough review and detailed exam involved. It might take around an hour or more, depending on whether X-rays or additional assessments are needed. The goal is to give your dentist enough time to get to know you and your oral health so that future visits are faster and more focused.
