Starting with a new dental office should be exciting, not overwhelming. At Dental Arts San Diego, our aim is making your first visit simple and stress-free. One of the most common questions we hear from new patients is: “What do I need for my first dental appointment?” The answer is simple; all you need is your ID and any insurance information you have.
Why We Need Your ID
Bringing a valid form of identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID, helps us confirm your identity and ensure your patient records are accurate. It’s also an important step in protecting your privacy and complying with healthcare regulations.
Bringing Your Insurance Information
If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card or policy details to your first appointment. This allows our team to verify your benefits, explain what’s covered, and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs before your treatment begins. Even if you’re not sure you’re covered for a certain procedure, providing your insurance information helps us work with your provider to get the most accurate breakdown of your coverage. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t worry, we’ll walk you through other payment and financing options.
What Happens Once You Arrive
Once you’ve checked in with your ID and insurance information, our friendly front office team will guide you through any necessary forms. From there, you’ll be taken for X-rays, followed by your dental exam with the doctor. Our team is here to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your care.
