Your First Visit to Lifetime Dental
Your first visit is more than just an appointment, it is the start of a relationship built around comfort, honesty, and care that fits your life. Whether it has been a while since your last checkup or you are simply looking for a new dental home in Brantford, we want you to leave your first visit feeling informed, comfortable, and genuinely glad you came in.
No Referral Needed
You do not need a referral to become a patient at Lifetime Dental. Whether you are new to Brantford, switching dentists, or simply overdue for a checkup, you can book your first appointment with us directly.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit is approximately sixty minutes, giving our team the time needed to properly understand your dental history and current oral health, without rushing.
A thorough exam. Dr. Kim will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite, including digital x rays as needed and a screening for early signs of decay or gum disease.
A conversation, not a lecture. We will walk you through what we find in plain language, answer your questions, and discuss any recommendations clearly, so you always understand the why behind your care.
A personalized plan. If any treatment is needed, we will outline your options, timelines, and next steps together, so you leave with a clear picture of your care moving forward, not just a list of appointments.
Ask Us Anything
While removing a damaged tooth might seem like a quicker option, keeping your natural tooth whenever possible generally supports better long term function, appearance, and overall oral health, and helps you avoid the additional cost and treatment involved in replacing a missing tooth later with a bridge or implant. Dr. Kim will always give you an honest recommendation based on whether your specific tooth can realistically be saved.
A New Patient Welcome Worth Having
New patients who complete an exam and x rays can choose either a free professional teeth whitening kit or a free electric toothbrush, our way of saying welcome to the practice.
Before Your Visit
To help your first appointment run smoothly, we ask that you print and complete our New Patient and Medical History forms in advance. This gives Dr. Kim time to properly review your history ahead of your visit, so more of your appointment can be spent on your actual care.
Insurance and Payment
Our team is happy to help you understand your insurance coverage and can direct bill many insurance providers on your behalf, so you are not left navigating claims alone. We accept payment by cash, debit, or most major credit cards.
