What to Expect at Your First Visit

The most important part of your first visit is telling us what you want. We see ourselves as a “coach” who helps you achieve the health and smile you’re looking for—not a “dictator doctor” with a one-size-fits-all plan. Come experience the difference for yourself.

Your First Appointment

As a new patient at Ackerman & Towson Dentistry, our goal is to make you feel comfortable and fully informed. During your first visit, we will review your medical and dental history. To ensure a thorough and accurate diagnosis, our doctors may take digital X-rays.

Your comprehensive exam may include:

  • Checking for tooth decay
  • Evaluating existing restorations
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Assessing periodontal (gum) health
  • Identifying excessive tooth wear
  • Evaluating bite (occlusion) issues

Personalized Care & Treatment Planning

We believe in building trust through open communication. After your exam, we will clearly explain our findings and discuss your treatment options. Our goal is to provide complete, accurate information so you can make confident, informed decisions about your dental care.

Payment & Insurance Options

We offer flexible financing options, including CareCredit, and participate with most insurance plans to help meet your financial needs. We accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You can also make a secure online payment using the button below.

If you have questions about your insurance coverage, please give us a call—we’re happy to help.

New Patient Forms

Before your first appointment, you will need to complete some forms. To save time at the office, we recommend filling them out in advance. Please print and complete the forms provided and bring them with you to your appointment.
