Checklist For Your Next Dental Appointment

  • Dr. Amy Leberman

Marked Appointment Date on Calender

Are you anxious about your next dental appointment? Do you feel like you’re not prepared enough? At Summit Dental, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’d like to provide you with a checklist of items to bring to your visit with us. This will help make the process easier for you and ensure you don’t forget anything important.

Make Sure Your Appointment is Confirmed

The first thing on your checklist should be to make sure that your appointment is confirmed. You can do this by calling our dental office in Boise or checking your email confirmation. This is important because it will ensure that there are no mix-ups and that you are indeed scheduled for an appointment.

Bring Your Insurance Card

Be sure to bring your insurance card with you to your appointment. This will help our dental office in Boise verify your coverage and ensure that you receive the proper benefits. If you do not have insurance, be prepared to pay for your services in full at the time of treatment.

Make a List of Questions and Concerns

It is also a good idea to list questions and concerns you want to bring up at your appointment. This will help you remember everything that you want to discuss with your dentist.

Some items that you may want to include on your list are:

  • Are there any changes in my oral health since my last visit?
  • Do I need to take additional steps to care for my teeth?
  • What is the status of my current treatment plan?
  • Are there any new treatments or procedures that I should be aware of?

Bring a Friend or Family Member (If You’d Like)

If you feel nervous about your appointment, you can always bring a friend or family member with you for support. This person can also act as an advocate for you and help ensure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed.

Learn What Your Insurance is Covering

Not all insurance plans are the same. Thus, it is important that you find out what your insurance is covering before your appointment. You can call our dental office in Boise or check your insurance company’s website. This will help you know what to expect financially and avoid any surprises.

Understand Your Deductible and Copayment

In addition to finding out what your insurance covers, you should also understand your deductible and copayment. Your deductible is the amount of money that you are responsible for paying before your insurance company starts to cover the cost of your dental care.

Your copayment is the amount you are responsible for paying at the time of service. This is usually a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the total cost.

Bring Your List of Medications

If you are taking any medications, be sure to bring a list of them with you to your dental appointment. This will help your dentist understand your complete medical picture and ensure that there are no interactions between your medications and any dental treatments that you may need.

Bring a Photo ID

Finally, don’t forget to bring a photo ID with you to your appointment. This will help our dental office in Boise verify your identity and make sure that you are who you say you are.

Schedule Your Appointment with Summit Dental

Now that you know what to put on your checklist for your next dental appointment, it’s time to schedule your appointment with Summit Dental. We are a state-of-the-art dental office in Boise offering a wide range of services to meet your dental needs. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible financing options for those without insurance. Contact us today at (208) 314-2275 or fill out our online form for more information.
