Helping New Patients Feel Comfortable and Informed

Knowing what to expect during your first visit to Lacamas Dental & Cosmetic Center will help you stay more at ease. When you are preparing to visit the office, you should collect the following items to bring with you:

  • Dental Records: Contact your previous dentist to request copies of any full-mouth X-rays taken within the last three years.
  • Medical history information: Be prepared to share details about your medical history, including any current medications, recent illnesses or surgeries, and any medication allergies.
  • New Patient Forms: Please complete the downloadable New Patient forms prior to your visit. Bringing these completed forms with you can help reduce your time in the office.

During your first visit, you can expect to have X-rays taken so the doctor can evaluate the structure of your mouth, check for tooth decay, and identify any malformed roots. After the initial examination and a thorough review of your medical history, we will discuss our recommended treatments and explain the associated costs.
