Your First Visit
We prioritize your oral health and want to provide you with the best care possible. During your first visit to our dental office, we will conduct a comprehensive oral evaluation to assess your specific dental needs. Our experienced dental team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet your oral health goals.
We kindly request that you bring your dental insurance card, a list of medications you are currently taking, and take any necessary antibiotics as prescribed. This will help us provide you with a seamless experience.
Our team encourages you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have regarding your treatment options. We offer a wide range of services, such as cleanings, fillings, and cosmetic dental procedures to address your unique dental needs.
Your Child's First Visit
At Souhegan Valley Dental, we understand the importance of your child’s oral health. We prioritize their comfort and well-being during their dental visit and recommend scheduling their first dental check-up by their first birthday. This early introduction to dental care sets the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health habits.

Before the appointment, it can be beneficial to inform your child about the visit in a positive and age-appropriate manner. We will provide a medical and dental health history form for you to fill out, ensuring we have a complete understanding of your child’s dental needs.

Practice Policies
We strive to provide clarity and transparency regarding our practice policies to ensure a smooth dental experience for our patients.
Insurance Coverage
Dental insurance can differ from medical insurance, and it’s helpful to review your insurance benefit booklet provided by your employer to understand your coverage better. Please keep in mind that patient payment portions for procedures can vary depending on insurance coverage.
Financial Policy
We accept multiple payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. For procedures not covered by insurance, we offer convenient financing options through CareCredit. CareCredit provides no-interest financing and low monthly payment options, making it easier for you to get the dental care you need. To learn more or apply for financing, visit our website.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that unforeseen circumstances may require you to reschedule appointments. We kindly request at least 48 hours notice to accommodate your changes. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a cancellation charge. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining our schedule.
