NEW PATIENT VISIT
As a new patient with dentist Dr. Maitri Patel, you should not be worried about what will happen at your initial visit. Keep in mind that Dr. Patel is always looking out for your best interests, and everyone on the dental staff will be prepared to help you achieve good dental health.
These days, most dental clinics go out of their way to help patients have an enjoyable experience at the office, so they’ll be more inclined to return. That’s why you may find a television in the waiting area, or a movie already in progress.
If you know that you need a lot of dental work done, Dr. Patel will try to break up that work into several sessions.
To put yourself at ease, ask about how long a cleaning or dental exam will take. If you haven’t been to the dentist in quite some time, you can probably expect to be there a little longer.
Prior to visiting a new dentist, you should make sure that they are in your dental insurance network, so you don’t have to pay an exorbitant amount of money for services. If you don’t have any dental insurance at all, you should definitely inquire about what you might have to pay for services rendered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How can I become a new patient at your dental practice?
A: All you have to do is schedule an initial consultation, and then come to Dr. Maitri Patel at her Ocoee, FL dental clinic at that time. During this first appointment, we will obtain your medical history, and take some initial x-rays to get a good baseline view of your oral health.
Q: What if I don’t have dental insurance?
A: You can still become a new patient with Dr. Patel’s dental clinic, but you would be obliged to pay for all your dental expenses out-of-pocket. Depending on the extent of dental care you need, this could get to be fairly expensive. That means it would be worth your while to arrange for dental insurance at the earliest opportunity.

A: We encourage all family members to become new patients at Dr. Patel’s dental clinic, so it’s more convenient for you and so we can observe trends throughout the entire family.
Q: What if I need a lot of dental work?
A: At your initial visit with us, we will determine the extent of any dental work you need. If this is fairly extensive, we will approach it incrementally, so that you aren’t obliged to have everything done in one session. The most serious issues will be addressed first, and then any lesser problems will be managed.
Q: Do I need to bring dental records with me from my previous dentist?
A: While it may be helpful if you were able to supply us with your prior dental records, it is not strictly necessary. We will be establishing a baseline of your current dental health ourselves, so we can proceed with this.
