Learn More About New Patients at Lakeside Dental

Yes! Lakeside 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 doctor for a comprehensive exam and all necessary X-rays. During your new patient appointment, you can speak with our dentist about any specific trouble areas or concerns.

However, our dentist follows current standards in the dental field and all new patients receive a comprehensive oral examination and any necessary x-rays. This ensures that our dentist has 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.
