Learn More About New Patients at Bayshore Dental

Yes! Bayshore Dental accepts new patients and is often able to schedule appointments within a few weeks or even days. Your first visit will usually include an appointment with the dentist for a comprehensive exam and all necessary X-rays. During your new patient appointment, you can speak with our dentists about any specific trouble areas or concerns.

In the past, you may have been able to schedule your first appointment with a new dentist for just a dental cleaning. However, our dentists follow current standards in the dental field and all new patients receive a comprehensive oral examination and any necessary x-rays. This ensures that our dentists have a full and clear picture of your mouth and oral health before proceeding with care. If cleaning is the proper next course of treatment, appointments are often available on the same day.

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Estimated patient portions are paid at the time of service. We proudly offer in-network insurance with Delta Dental.

As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, patients are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full.
