New Patients
First Visit Expectations
Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Christopher Kaouk Family & Cosmetic Dentistry.
Let’s get to know each other
Your first visit is not only about our team getting to know you but also about you getting to know our team. In the time we spend together, we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your care as individual as you are.
Part of getting to know you and providing safe, personalized support involves reviewing your medical history. Certain medical conditions and medications can influence your treatment protocols—so please write out a list of your medications and their dosages (including vitamins and supplements).
A comprehensive oral exam and x-rays will be performed, including a non-invasive oral cancer screening.
You’re in great hands
If you haven’t been to a dentist for a while, please don’t worry. You’ve made an important decision—no need to feel guilty!
Once your exam is complete, Dr. Kaouk will talk with you about his findings. Together you can create a healthy, effective treatment plan that best meets your dental and personal requirements. We can prioritize and stagger your treatments to give you a smile you deserve in a timeframe you can afford.
Finally, we want you to know we will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed and safe. Not only is your physical comfort important to us, but your emotional comfort is as well.
Financial Options
We want to help you receive the dental care you deserve. We discuss all costs and payment options with you to make sure you are comfortable with your treatment plan and to answer any questions you have prior to the start of treatment. You will never have surprises when it comes to your bill.
Dental Insurance
We want you to get the most out of your budget, so we work with your insurance provider to ensure you get the best coverage available to you. A treatment plan will be provided for you that will include the estimated insurance coverage and your portion of the responsibility towards your dental care.
We accept most insurance plans and will gladly process your claims for you. Please bring the necessary information with you on your first visit, or you can provide this information to us via a phone call. We are happy to file the necessary forms to see that you receive the full benefits of your coverage; however, we make no guarantee of any estimated coverage. Because the insurance policy is an agreement between you and the insurance company, please know that we will do everything possible to see that you receive the full benefits of your policy.
Popular Payment Options
We accept payments by debit/credit card, cash, or check. We also accept Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Some patients are interested in other payment options, so we also accept CareCredit, which offers many affordable payment plans.
