Welcome to Our Dental Family
We understand that visiting a new dentist can feel overwhelming. At Woodland Family Dentistry, we’re committed to making your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s everything you need to know about joining our dental family.
Your First Visit to Woodland Family Dentistry
Before Your Appointment
Our office will call you (or text if you prefer) to make sure we have the information we need prior to your first appointment. We like to touch base before you arrive to make better use of your time while in the office.
To make your first visit smooth and efficient, we recommend:
- Arriving 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork
- Bringing your ID and insurance card
- Downloading and completing our new patient forms
- Having a list of current medications and medical conditions ready
- Bringing any recent dental X-rays if available
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first visit with us is all about getting to know you and understanding your dental needs in a comfortable, relaxed environment. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- A warm welcome from our friendly team who will help you feel right at home
- A comfortable office tour to help you get familiar with our practice
- Time to share your dental concerns and goals with Dr. DeWolf
- A gentle, thorough examination to assess your oral health
- Clear conversation about any findings and recommendations
- No rushing or pressure – we ensure there’s plenty of time to answer all your questions
Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities. Whether you’re visiting us after years away from the dentist or just looking for a new dental home, we’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps toward optimal oral health.
Most first visits take between 60-90 minutes, giving us plenty of time to get to know each other and address your specific needs. And yes – if you bring children, they’ll get to pick something special from our prize cupboard after their visit!
