New to Our Practice? What Sherwood Park Patients Can Expect at Their First Visit

Choosing a new dentist is a personal decision, and we want your first experience at Park Dental Wellness Centre to feel straightforward and welcoming. Whether you are new to Sherwood Park or simply looking for a dental home that takes a whole-body approach to oral health, this guide walks you through what to expect before, during, and after your initial appointment.

Before Your Appointment

A little preparation goes a long way. We recommend completing your new patient forms ahead of time so we can review your information before you arrive. If you have dental insurance, bring your policy details so our team can help with direct billing when applicable.

Please also gather:

• A list of current medications and relevant medical history
• Recent digital X-rays from your previous dentist, if available (within the last six months)
• Any removable dental appliances you currently wear, such as night guards or retainers

If you do not have recent X-rays, that is fine. We can take new images during your visit as needed.

What Happens During Your First Visit

Your initial appointment is more than a quick check-up. We take time to understand your dental and medical background, because conditions and medications can affect your oral health in meaningful ways. From there, we perform a thorough examination that may include an oral cancer screening, assessment of your jaw joints, a sleep apnea screening, evaluation of your teeth and existing dental work, and a detailed look at your gum health.

When appropriate, digital radiographs help us see areas that are not visible during a visual exam, such as between teeth or below the gum line. After we gather this information, we review our findings with you and discuss options that align with your goals and priorities.
