Becoming a patient with us

A welcome that starts before the cleaning does

When you become a patient at Family Dental Care of New Hampshire, you're getting to know a team that's going to know you for years. We'll greet you at the door, give you a tour of the office, and walk you through what your first visit looks like before we get started.

You won't feel rushed. You won't feel like a chart number. And if it's been a while since your last cleaning, that's okay. We're glad you're here.

Before your first visit

We try to make the paperwork as painless as possible. Here's what helps things go smoothly:

Give us a call or send us a note to schedule a time that works for you
We'll send you new patient forms ahead of time so you can fill them out before you arrive
Bring your insurance card and a photo ID
Bring a list of any medications you're currently taking
If you have records from a previous dentist, bring those too, or let us know and we can request them for you

If you ever have questions before your visit, just call. We're happy to walk you through anything.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first visit will likely include a full exam, x-rays, a cleaning if your schedule allows for it, and a conversation with one of our doctors about anything you want to address. We'll talk through what we see, answer your questions honestly, and put together a plan that works for your priorities and your budget.

Everything below is included. Ask for any of it, any time.

A heated massage chair

A blanket and eye mask

A TV in every operatory

Nitrous oxide, sedation, and numbing reversal available when you need them

Digital impressions instead of messy molds

It's still the dentist.
We just designed the visit around how dental care should feel.

Insurance and financing

We accept Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier. If you have a different plan, give us a call and we'll let you know what we can do. We'll also help you understand your coverage before treatment so there are no surprises.

For patients who want to spread the cost over time, we work with CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Finance.

If you don't have insurance, ask us about our In-Office Savings Plan. It's our way of making quality dental care accessible to patients without coverage, with discounts on cleanings, exams, X-rays, and most treatments.

A little nervous?
You're not alone.

Plenty of our patients told us they hadn't been to the dentist in years before they walked through our doors. Some had been afraid. Some had a bad experience somewhere else. Some just couldn't find the time. Whatever the reason, we get it, and we'll meet you where you are.

If you struggle with dental anxiety, let us know when you call. We'll plan your visit around what helps: more time, gentler pacing, nitrous oxide or sedation, or just a longer conversation before we get started. There's no judgment here.
