Welcome to Penhold Dental Care
We look forward to your first visit.
At Penhold Dental Care – We Love New Patients!
We accept new dental patients without the need for a referral and look forward to the privilege of being your Penhold and Red Deer Dental Health provider. We are dedicated to providing your entire family quality care. If you are a new patient, please download and complete our new patient package to help facilitate your intake. Should you have any questions, please contact us, and our administration team will be happy to assist you
At your initial first visit appointment, we will interview and examine you, and gather other records and tests required to thoroughly evaluate your oral health. We will then discuss any recommendations we may have for further treatment and give you an opportunity to ask questions. Occasionally, urgent treatment can be performed on the same day as the consultation.
What To Bring to Your First Visit
Please bring your insurance information, including information on your plan details. We will do our best to help you understand your coverage information including your annual and lifetime maximums and whether your plan allows for the assignment of benefits.
Your health and safety are important to us. We will collect a detailed health history from you in order to determine if there are any risks for treatment. In addition, please bring a list of medications you may be taking, including prescription and non-prescription medications to your visit.
If you have x-rays’ from a previous dentist, you can have them released to our office. We will ask you to sign a release form in order for us to obtain them under the Health Information Act of Alberta.
