New Patients Guide | Connection Dental | Silver Spring, MD

Here at Connection Dental, we are dedicated to keeping you informed and want you to know what you can expect during your first visit with us.

The first appointment consists of a consultation. We will review your current situation, explain your diagnosis, and cover your treatment options.

You will want to bring the following information with you to the consultation appointment:

Recent X-rays from a previous dental office
A list of any medications you are taking
Any known allergies or medical conditions
Medical or Dental insurance to be filed

Occasionally treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, complex treatment plans or complicated medical histories will require evaluation and a second appointment for treatment. Please let the office know if you have a medical condition that may be a concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves or joints, rheumatic fever, or blood disorders).

If you’ve had X-rays taken in the last six months, please have your dentist forward them to us. If there is not enough time to get them to us prior to your appointment, please make arrangements to pick them up and bring them with you to the appointment.

A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18.

We will make every effort to estimate your costs before your visit so that you can be prepared. Payment is due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
Most insurance companies respond within four to six weeks, and you will receive a monthly statement.

You are responsible for all fees not covered by insurance. If additional tests are needed such as lab work or a biopsy, you will be billed directly by those providers and will be responsible for submitting payment directly to them.

Your prompt payment is appreciated. Payment arrangements may be considered if discussed in advance of treatment.
