New Patient Forms

Complete Your Forms Online Before Your First Visit

Once your appointment is scheduled, we’ll send you a secure link to fill out your medical history and paperwork on your phone or tablet before you arrive. That means less time in the waiting room, more time with our team, and a first visit that feels smooth and personal.

Choosing a new dentist can bring up a lot of questions, and we want getting started to feel simple. After you book your first appointment, you’ll receive a link to our online forms, so you can share your medical history, dental concerns, and goals from home, on your own time. When you arrive, our team already knows a bit about you, so we can welcome you, introduce you to our doctors, and focus on what matters most to you.

During your first visit, we take time to understand your oral health and answer your questions. Your visit includes digital x-rays and CariVu cavity detection, an oral cancer screening, a jaw joint (TMJ) and airway evaluation, a gum health assessment, and a comprehensive exam with guidance tailored to you. Please bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, a list of any medications you take, and any recent dental records or x-rays. If you have questions about your forms, our friendly team is happy to help.

Yesterday I had a dental emergency and was able to be seen here even though this is not my normal dental office. Dr. Christian Shaifer was AMAZING!!! I have extreme dental anxiety and he made me feel more relaxed than anyone EVER had before. I think it is time to switch dentists!
