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.

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.
