Your First Visit to Our Peoria Office Made Simple
Starting with a new dental office should feel easy, not stressful. Belmont Dentistry welcomes new patients of all ages to our Peoria, AZ office, whether you are due for a checkup, have a specific concern or are returning after years away. Our team takes the time to learn your history, listen to your goals, and explain what we find in plain language. Many patients tell us it was the first time a dental visit left them feeling informed instead of overwhelmed.
You will never be rushed or judged, and nothing is added to your plan without your agreement. Here is exactly what to expect, so you can walk in feeling prepared.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
Your first visit is about more than checking your teeth. It is our chance to understand your health, your comfort needs, and your goals, so every recommendation we make is built around you. Most new patient appointments take about an hour, which gives us time to talk, gather images, complete a thorough exam, and review the results together without feeling rushed.
- A Warm Welcome. Our front office team greets you, confirms your details, and answers any questions about scheduling or insurance.
- A Conversation About Your Goals. Before any exam, we talk about your health history, comfort needs, and what you would like from your smile.
- Digital X-Rays and Photos. Low-radiation digital X-rays and intraoral photos give us a detailed look at your teeth, gums, and bone.
- A Thorough Exam. The dentist checks for cavities, gum disease, bite concerns, worn or cracked teeth, and signs of oral cancer.
- A Professional Cleaning When Appropriate. If your exam shows healthy gums, we may complete a cleaning at the same visit. Otherwise we will explain the treatment your gums need first.
- A Clear Written Plan. We review the images with you on screen, then give you a written plan that separates urgent needs from optional treatment, with costs and expected insurance coverage.
What to Bring to Your Visit
To help us make the most of your appointment, please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, a list of current medications, and any recent dental X-rays from your previous office. If you would rather save time at the office, you can complete our new patient forms ahead of your visit. Do not worry if you cannot find your old records. We can request them for you. If you have questions about what to bring or how to prepare, our front office team is always happy to help before you arrive.
Insurance and Payment Options for New Patients
We believe cost questions should be answered before treatment, not after. Our front office team works with dental plans every day and will check your benefits before your visit so there are no surprises.
We are in-network with most major PPO dental plans and file your claims for you. We can also help you make the most of FSA and HSA funds before they expire.
New patients without coverage are always welcome. Our in-house Belmont Dental Plan includes exams, X-rays, and cleanings and offers savings on fillings, crowns, implants, and cosmetic care, with no annual maximums, waiting periods, or claim forms. For larger treatment, CareCredit financing can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments, subject to credit approval.

Choosing a new dental office is a big decision, and we want it to feel like the right one from the very first call. When you visit Belmont Dentistry, you can expect a friendly welcome, a thorough exam, clear answers, and a plan that respects your time, your comfort, and your budget. Whether you need a routine checkup, want to address a concern that has been bothering you or are simply ready to find a dental home for the whole family, we are here to help.
