New Patient Checklist
What to Bring to Your First
Dental Appointment
Knowing what to bring saves time and reduces stress. Here is a checklist to help you prepare.
Patient Forms & What to Complete in Advance
We offer online patient forms that you can fill out from home. Completing them before your visit speeds up check-in. If you prefer paper, we will have copies ready. Please contact our office to request the forms by email or to confirm which format works best for you.
Insurance Cards, ID & What We Accept
Bring your insurance card and a valid photo ID. We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Guardian, MetLife, and Sun Life. If you have a different plan, we will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before your appointment. For details, see our Insurance & Financing page.
What to Expect at Your First Visit to Our Decatur Office
We design the first visit to be thorough but unhurried. You will leave with a clear picture of your oral health and any recommended next steps.
Your Initial Exam & Diagnostic Process
Your first exam includes a comprehensive oral evaluation, digital X-rays (taken only as needed), and an intra-oral scan using our iTero scanner. Dr. Spaulding will review your medical history and discuss any concerns you have. We use AI-assisted diagnostics to detect issues early and explain findings in plain language.
Meeting Dr. Spaulding: An Unhurried, Judgment-Free Appointment
Dr. Jocelyn Spaulding takes time to listen. She does not push treatments you do not need. Many patients tell us they appreciate the no-pressure, thorough approach. You can read more about her training and philosophy on our About Dr. Spaulding page. The visit is structured to move at your pace.
Insurance &
Financing Options
We want cost to be the last thing on your mind. Here is a quick look at the options we offer.
In-Network Insurance Plans We Accept
We are proud to be in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Guardian, MetLife, and Sun Life. Our team handles all insurance claims and will maximize your benefits. If you have coverage from another provider, we still accept out-of-network plans and will help you understand your expected costs.
Flexible Financing With Sunbit & Cherry
For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we partner with Sunbit and Cherry to offer manageable monthly payment plans. The Sunbit application takes about a minute, uses a soft credit check that will not affect your credit score, and gives most patients a decision on the spot. Visit our Insurance & Financing page for full details.
