Your Dental Office: The Right Choice
Your First Visit – a Painless Conversation
We have found that no two of our patients are alike. Every desire and goal is different for each individual person that walks into our office. Some people truly dread going to the dentist while others actually like it! Some people want to chew comfortably again while others have always wanted a more attractive smile. Our goal at our Long Beach Dental Office is to make sure you get what you want. For that reason your first visit is just a conversation with Dr. Susan Lee.
We need to know where you’ve been, where you are now and where you want to go. We also need to know when you want to reach your goals. The best way to find out the answers to those questions is to sit down and discuss them with you. You may have your own concerns to discuss with us as well. Our initial consultation allows you to determine if you are in the right dentist office for you. If everyone is happy after the initial consultation then we can move forward to see where you are now.
New Patient Exam
The goal of the New Patient Exam is to discover together the current state of your dental health. This is not about scolding or lecturing – it is about finding our starting point.
Your new patient appointment will include a comprehensive exam. This exam allows us to evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, jaw muscles, and joints. In addition, we will take diagnostic photographs and X-rays or we might even create diagnostic models as well. With your current information and these accurate records, Dr. Susan Lee can design a customized treatment plan for you. This plan is based specifically on your goals and objectives.
Financial Policy / Dental Insurance
Our office is a fee-for-service practice and therefore payment is normally due at the time services are provided unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Our office accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, as well as cash or checks. Our office is also happy to offer Care Credit, a no interest financing option, to qualifying patients.
If you do carry dental insurance, you can expect your insurance company to reimburse you a portion of our fee. That amount is determined by the coverage of your insurance company. We will be happy to file all claims for you, as well as any appeals needed. We are always available to help you make the best use of the benefits you have available. At all times, you can be confident that we will be providing you with our best services without regard to the limitations imposed by your insurance coverage. Anything else would violate our commitment to you as our patient.
