Why New Patients Choose Anamosa Dental Associates
A lot of our new patients tell us they put off dental visits for years because of past bad experiences. If that sounds familiar, you're in good company here. Our team is known for gentle, unhurried care, and our in-office therapy dogs are often on hand to help nervous patients relax before an appointment. You can learn more about the doctors and their years of experience in Anamosa on our About Us page, or read what other patients have to say on our patient testimonials page.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is about getting to know you and your dental history, not just checking teeth off a list. Plan for around 90 minutes so we have time for a full exam, any needed X-rays, and a real conversation about your goals for your smile.
Your first visit
What to Bring to Your Appointment
To help your visit go smoothly, please bring:
- Your dental insurance card, if you have one
- A photo ID
- A list of current medications
- Any X-rays taken within the past year, if available
- Completed new patient forms, if you filled them out ahead of time
Prepare for your visit
New Patient Forms & Paperwork
We'll ask you to complete a short health history and insurance form so our team understands your needs before you sit in the chair. Filling these out in advance can shorten your wait time, but if you forget, that's okay. We keep extra copies at the front desk and can help you finish them when you arrive.
Insurance, Payment & Scheduling Options
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, and our front office team is happy to check your benefits and give you a cost estimate before any treatment starts. For patients without insurance, or for treatment that goes beyond what a plan covers, we offer 0% financing and CareCredit. You can find more detail on coverage and payment options on our insurance and financing page. Once you know what care you need, browse our services page to learn more about specific treatments before your visit.
