New Patients
We're Glad You're Here
Everything you need to know before your first visit — so you can walk in confident and leave smiling.
Your First Visit
What to Expect
We know starting with a new dentist can feel like a leap of faith. At Buckeye Dental, we've designed the new patient experience to be unhurried, transparent, and genuinely welcoming. Your first appointment is a conversation as much as it is an exam — we want to understand your history, your goals, and any concerns you have before we do anything else.
Complete Your Forms
Fill out your new patient paperwork before you arrive — it takes about 10 minutes and means we can spend your appointment time on you, not on clipboards.
Arrive & Get Settled
Come a few minutes early. Our team will greet you, answer any questions, and make sure you're comfortable before we get started.
Comprehensive Exam
Our team will perform a thorough exam — teeth, gums, bite, oral tissues, and digital X-rays. No surprises, no pressure.
Your Care Plan
We'll walk you through exactly what we found, what we recommend, and what your options are. You leave with a clear picture and a plan you feel good about.
Before You Arrive
