Criswell Clinic on Mainstreet Is Currently Accepting New Patients!

What Can I Expect At My New Patient Appointment

Starting a new dentist can be a stressful process, especially if it’s been awhile since your last appointment. Whether you are seeing a dentist for the first time in years, seeking better care than your previous provider, a 2nd opinion on a service, or relocating to Van Buren, we are excited to meet you! Our highly-trained, compassionate, non-judgemental team at Criswell Clinic is ready to walk you through the process and help you be as comfortable as possible.

Get Started With Your First Appointment

If you are in the Van Buren area and are experiencing tooth pain or another immediate dental need, click here for information about our emergency appointments.

What Is A New Patient Appointment

Before you can receive any kind of treatment, such as a deep cleaning, fillings for cavities, or a consultation for a more advanced service such as dentures or implants, our team here at Criswell Clinic on Mainstreet will perform a new patient appointment - including an exam with X Rays to get the full landscape of your current oral health, consultation with one of Van Buren’s top doctors, and a dental cleaning. 

When Should I Make a New Patient Appointment?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients visit the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. However, you may require more frequent visits depending on your oral health, so don’t delay and make an appointment now.

Even if you have seen a dentist within the last six months, you may have concerns over gum health, tooth pain, or needed repairs to procedures like dentures and fillings. If so, come see us at Criswell Clinic on Mainstreet so we can help you restore your oral health.

It is also time to make an appointment if you are ready to learn about enhancing your smile through services such as teeth whitening, or implants.

Preparing Ahead of Time

New Patient Paperwork

To ensure our team here at Criswell Clinic on Mainstreet is ready for your visit, you can prepare for your new patient appointment in the following ways. Don’t have time now? No problem, just arrive 15-30 minutes before your appointment time.

Speed up your check-in process by filling out your first visit paperwork from the comfort of your home.

Locate Your Insurance Information

Criswell Clinic can confirm eligibility of your insurance with our Mainstreet location. While some of our services, such as a new patient appointment, have set or promotional pricing, front desk employees can not guarantee prices for services, as they will vary based on your specific treatment plan and insurance.

If you don’t have insurance, still come and see us - payment plans may be available.

X-Rays/Treatment Info from Previous Dentist

Our expert team can provide second opinions on any previous consultations, or help continue a treatment plan you may have paused. If applicable, you can call your previous dentist to have them send over your X-rays to our office before your appointment.

Medical History

Medical history is important to our office because oral health and overall health are closely connected. Please let Criswell Clinic know if you have any medical conditions that may impact your treatment plan such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or artificial heart valves & joints.

If you are unsure about your complete medical history or do not have access to it, rest assured that our experienced dental professionals will still provide you with the best possible treatment. Our team is trained in the proper assessments and imaging to empower our doctors to give you quality care.

Comprehensive list of medications - examples include heart medications, aspirin, antihistamines, and decongestants. This information is useful to our team because these medicines can affect your saliva, gum health, cause dry mouth or ulcers, and more. 

Prepare a list of questions - One of our top Van Buren doctors will be happy to review and answer any concerns you might have about the state of your teeth, and if there are any current issues you’d like addressed - such as tooth or gum pain, bad breath, or stained/yellow teeth.  

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

Don’t be afraid to call us with any questions you might have before your new patient appointment, or if you need directions in the Van Buren area.

What To Expect At An Criswell Clinic First Patient Appointment

Greeted by the Front Desk

A friendly team member at the Criswell Clinic front desk will request your government ID and insurance card, if applicable. If you don’t have insurance, don’t worry! Payment plans may be available.

Your total appointment time will vary, but is usually between 60-90 minutes. Before exiting our office, we will help schedule follow-up appointments or relevant consultations based on recommendations from our doctors. Sometimes treatments can be done the same day, depending on office availability.

X-Rays

One of our expert associates will get comprehensive imagery of your teeth and gums to get a full picture of your current oral health. This includes screenings for gum disease/decay, and any signs of oral cancer.

Meet with Doctor

One of Van Buren's first rate doctors here at Criswell Clinic will go over your X-rays with you, answer any questions you might have, and if applicable, help create a personalized treatment plan for further services. You will be empowered to make an informed decision about your smile.

Cleaning

A skilled Van Buren hygienist will give you a professional cleaning, gently scraping away plaque and tartar that may have built up on your teeth over time. It is important to address this build-up sooner rather than later to avoid developing gum disease.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Root Canal

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment or therapy is a dental procedure to help save a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp tissue. If you are having pain while chewing, swollen gums, or sensitivity, you may need this procedure.

Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants are a simple, effective, and affordable way to help reduce the risk of cavities.

Fluoride Treatment

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment or therapy is a dental procedure to help save a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp tissue. If you are having pain while chewing, swollen gums, or sensitivity, you may need this procedure.

iTero® Digital Dentistry

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment or therapy is a dental procedure to help save a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp tissue. If you are having pain while chewing, swollen gums, or sensitivity, you may need this procedure.

Clear Aligners

Straighten your teeth with a clear alternative to metal braces. (For Example: Invisalign®)

Clear aligners are a removable, discreet orthodontic treatment. They consist of a series of trays that you wear for several weeks at a time. As your teeth gently move into position, you start using the next set of trays.

Dental Bridges

A safe, low-risk way to replace one or more missing teeth. Natural teeth or dental implants can be used as anchors to support the suspended replacement teeth.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dental Exams And Check-Ups

There are two parts to your Criswell Clinic visit – examination and cleaning. Your exam will check for cavities, plaque, and tartar on your teeth.

Dentures

If you have lost most or all of your teeth, wearing dentures can be a difficult experience. Worrying about loose or painful dentures can be a drain on your patience and your health. Dental Implant supported dentures made by a specialist in Prosthodontics can change your life?

Extractions

While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Fillings

Dental fillings are the most conservative way to restore smaller areas of tooth decay. In a dental expert's hands, these types of restorations can be made to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a restoration that is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Both resin and porcelain fillings can be adhesively bonded to your natural tooth to add strength.

Teeth Whitening

Let our team help you determine what whitening process is right for you, based on the current color and condition of your teeth.
