New Dental Patient Information – Amherst, MA
A Warm Welcome for New Patients
Amherst Dental Group has been welcoming new patients into our practice for more than 40 years, so we know a thing or two about helping people feel comfortable right from the start! Before you come see us, you’ll find all the information you need ahead of your appointment below, including what to expect. After you’ve looked it over, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We can’t wait for you to join our dental family and achieve the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve!
Your First Visit
We strive to give our patients a “WOW experience” at their very first visit. You’ll be greeted like an old friend, checked in quickly, and then we’ll give you a short tour of the office so you can start getting to know your dental home. We’ll then escort you to your treatment room where we’ll take some images and X-rays of your mouth. Afterward, your dentist will spend a few minutes chatting with you about your dental goals, give you an exam, and discuss their findings with you. Once you’ve both put together a care plan moving forward, and your questions have been answered, we’ll bring you back to the front desk.
New Patient Forms
Filling out our patient forms in our waiting room can be quite the task, between keeping an eye on your child, juggling a clipboard, and looking up your insurance and prescription medication information. To save you the hassle and help us check you in as quickly as possible, you can simply download our forms below and complete them in the comfort of home. Just bring them with you to your appointment so we can cut down your wait time to practically nothing!
Insurance Welcome
We know that many families rely on dental insurance to make their care affordable, which is why we’re happy to accept the majority of plans! We’re in-network with some of the most popular providers and can consistently help patients maximize their benefits.
