From requesting an appointment to discussing your wishes and next steps, we are here for you. Let's get started!
Submitting a request and waiting for confirmation
The first step is to submit your request for an appointment. This can usually be done easily online or by phone. Make sure to clearly indicate that you are a new patient so that we can schedule the necessary time for you. After submitting your request, you will receive a confirmation of the appointment.
It is important to wait for this confirmation before proceeding with your preparations. This gives us the chance to process your information and ensure that everything is ready for your arrival. If you have not heard anything after a few days, do not hesitate to contact us.
What you can gather in advance
Before you come to your first appointment, it is helpful to gather some documents and information. Think of your identification, any insurance details, and a list of medications you are currently using. This helps us to get a complete picture of your health.
Additionally, you can also make notes about any dental complaints or questions you have. This ensures that you do not forget to discuss anything during your first visit. Good preparation helps us to serve you better.
Discussing the transfer of your file with your previous practice
If you have previously been treated by another dentist or orthodontist, it is important to discuss the transfer of your file. This can help us gain insight into your medical history and previous treatments. You can discuss this during your first appointment.
We can assist you in the process of file transfer. This is usually done by sending a request to your previous practice. Make sure to give your consent for this transfer so that we can receive the necessary information. This is an important step to ensure the continuity of your care.
Getting to know each other and sharing your wishes
During your first appointment, we will take the time to get to know each other better. You will meet your treating specialist, who will ask you questions about your medical history and your dental wishes. This is a good time to express all your questions or concerns.
Tell us what is important to you regarding your oral care. Whether it is about aesthetics, functionality, or comfort, we would like to know what your expectations are. This helps us to create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your wishes.
Discussing next steps and costs together
After getting to know each other and discussing your wishes, we will explain the next steps in your treatment. This includes any diagnosis, the necessary treatments, and the expected timelines. We take the time to explain everything clearly so that you are well-informed.
Additionally, we will discuss the costs associated with your treatment. This gives you a clear picture of what to expect and prevents surprises. We are ready to answer all your questions about this, so you can proceed with confidence.
