Your First Visit

Starting with a new dental practice is a big step. We want to make it a simple one. Here is exactly what your first appointment at Stouffville Dental Arts looks like, from the moment you reach out to the moment you leave.

Before You Come In

We review your insurance coverage ahead of your appointment and contact you with a clear breakdown of your expected costs. No unknowns waiting for you at checkout.

Have a question before you come in? Call or email us. We are happy to answer before your visit rather than after.

Your First Visit Includes Two Hours of Personalized Care

We book more time for new patients because that time matters. It is how we get a complete picture of your oral health and understand what you actually want from your dental care before we recommend anything. During your first visit, you’ll spend one hour with the dentist and one hour with your hygienist.

Here is what we cover:

A Conversation First

We start by listening. What brought you in? What are your goals? What has been standing in the way? Your answers shape the appointment and everything that follows.

Your Records

We take a full set of digital X-rays, intraoral photos, and scans so we have a complete and accurate picture of where your oral health stands today.

Your Exam

Your dentist reviews everything and walks you through what they find. What they see, what it means, and what your options are, in plain language.

Your Plan

If treatment is recommended, we talk through it together. Nothing is scheduled without your understanding and your approval. We will tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.

What to Bring With You

Your insurance card or benefits information
Any medications you're currently taking
Dental records, if you have them (but don't worry if you don't)

Nervous About Your Visit? That's Okay.

Dental anxiety is real, and it's common. If you're feeling it, you don't have to push through it on your own. Let us know before your appointment or when you arrive. We'll adjust the pace, answer your questions as we go, and make sure you feel settled before anything begins.

Weighted blankets and in-chair Netflix are available at every appointment. Just ask.

After Your First Visit

You will have a clear picture of your oral health, an honest sense of what comes next, and a plan that fits your life. If follow-up appointments are needed, we will help you book them before you go.
