Your First Visit
Visiting a new dentist for the first time can seem a little daunting, but at Daylight Dental, we want you to feel at ease with us from the first moment you walk through our doors.
The first step is to call our Austin, TX dental office at (512)782-8738 to schedule an appointment. We have extended evening hours five nights a week—including Saturdays—to make it easy for you to see us after work or school.
What to Bring to Your First Appointment
Before we can treat you, we need your medical information and a list of the prescription medications you take. Check out or forms page and download the medical history form to complete before your appointment.
If you can’t fill out your paperwork beforehand, please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment and complete them at our office.
Your First Oral Examination
Your first visit is with one of our skilled dentists, and before your dental exam, they will go over your medical history, dental history, and any oral health worries.
Then they’ll perform an oral examination that includes, x-rays, intraoral images, and a treatment plan based on what we find.
Please note that our dentist cannot perform your exam without current dental x-rays to view the inside your teeth and under your gums to detect decay, bone loss, and tartar buildup, and make a proper diagnosis.
We can use any existing x-rays from your previous dentist if they are of high diagnostic quality and no more than six months old.
