Your first visit · Walnut Grove, Langley
New dental patients in Walnut Grove, Langley
You do not need all the answers before you arrive. We’ll start with your concerns, review your health history and explain what comes next.
A place to begin
Your first visit starts with listening.
Tell us what brought you in, what you hope to understand and how dental visits have felt in the past. We review your medical and dental history before recommending an assessment tailored to your needs.
An examination may include your teeth, gums, oral tissues, bite and jaw comfort. Imaging is recommended when appropriate; a cleaning or treatment may require a separate appointment depending on your needs and the time arranged.
What to bring
- Your medication list, allergies and relevant medical history.
- Insurance or active CDCP membership details, if applicable.
- Details of previous dental care and records you would like transferred.
- Your questions and any accessibility, communication or comfort needs.
Please call for guidance on sharing records securely. Do not send medical details in the general contact form or ordinary email.
What to expect
A clear first conversation.
- 01
Meet and review
We listen to your priorities and review your health history, coverage details and any concerns about comfort.
- 02
Assess and explain
Your dentist examines the relevant areas and explains findings, any imaging needs and suitable next steps.
- 03
Choose your next step
We discuss treatment choices, a written estimate and the timing of future visits. You have space to ask questions before deciding.
Let us know what would help.
If you feel anxious, need a slower pace or have a support person you would like involved, tell the team before your visit. Sedation requires a separate suitability discussion; do not assume it is included in a first appointment.
Your questions, answered
Before you arrive.
Good care starts with a conversation. Here are a few things you might be wondering.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a list of medications and relevant medical information, your insurance or CDCP details, and any questions about your oral health. Tell us if you need help transferring records or if you have accessibility or comfort needs.
Will I have treatment at my first visit?
Not necessarily. Your first visit focuses on understanding your concerns and assessment needs. Cleaning or treatment may need a separate appointment; call us if you have a specific or urgent concern.
Can you help transfer my dental records?
Yes, ask our team for guidance. We can explain what information may be useful and the consent needed to request records from your previous dental provider.
What if I am nervous about coming in?
Tell us before your visit. We can discuss your concerns, pacing and comfort needs, and whether a separate sedation assessment is appropriate.
