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.

I’ve been with Dr. Kim for 25 years. He does great work and has actually restored my teeth completely over the years of service. My only suggestion is to have a better understanding of how my benefits are being utilized for each procedure. That information would alert me as to the extent of my coverage.

한국인 의사이며 의사소통 완벽! 회사보험으로 카바되는 경우 최고(최초 방문시 보험정보 제공 및 다음 방문시 검진 혹은 치료 사항 사전 승인 받아줌) 두번째 방문시 완벽한 검진 및 촬영. Deep Scaling시 첨단 사전마취 및 무통 치료(이것들은 무료가 아니며 보험으로 카바되지 않으므로 개인이 지불해야 합니다. 1회당 75불이며 시니어는 50프로 디씨를 받습니다.) 두번째 방문시의 진단 결과를 보면서 한시간여 무료 컨설팅. 보험카바 범위 내에서 진료 수준 및 방법 선정해 줍니다. 캐나다에서 25년만에 제대로 된 치과 발견! 강추! Korean doctor and perfect communication! Best in case of company insurance (provides insurance information on first visit and prior approval of examination or treatment on next visit) Perfect examination and filming on second visit. Advanced pre-anesthesia and painless treatment (These are not free and are not covered by insurance, so you have to pay for them by yourself. $75 per session and seniors get 50 %DC. )during Deep Scaling. Free consulting for about an hour while looking at the diagnosis results at the second visit. Select the level and method of treatment within the insurance coverage. Discovered a proper dental clinic in Canada for the first time in 25 years! Highly recommend!

I have been going to Dr. Kim since he was on St Paul Ave. On top of his excellent dental work, you couldn't ask for a nicer person. The staff are always friendly and professional from the receptionist to the hygienists. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
