What Patients Need To Know

Welcome to Ballantyne Family Dental in Charlotte, NC!

We’re here to make your dental care experience comfortable, informative, and stress-free. Whether you’re preparing for your first visit, exploring financing and insurance options, or looking for ways to enhance your smile, we’ve got you covered.

Preparing For Your First Visit

Your first visit is all about getting to know you and your dental goals. We’ll take the time to learn about your oral health history and discuss any concerns you may have. To help us provide the best care possible, we recommend:

  • Bringing important documents: Have your previous dental records and insurance details ready.
  • Completing paperwork in advance: Filling out forms before your visit saves time.
  • Arriving a few minutes early: This gives you time to settle in and ask any questions.
  • Asking anything on your mind: We want you to feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.

Comprehensive Oral Health Evaluation

No matter how long it’s been since your last dental visit, we’re here to help you feel at ease. Your first exam gives us a full picture of your oral health so we can create a plan tailored just for you. During this visit, we will:

  • Do a thorough oral exam: Check your teeth, gums, and jaw for any concerns.
  • Take digital x-rays: Get a detailed view of your oral structures for accurate diagnosis.
  • Perform an oral cancer screening: A quick, non-invasive check to detect any early signs.
  • Go over any findings with you: We’ll explain what we see and discuss next steps.

Your Dental Care Plan

Once we have a complete picture of your oral health, Dr. Patel will go over her recommendations. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs, goals, and budget. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

  • Preventive care: Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to keep your smile healthy.
  • Restorative treatments: Fillings, crowns, dental implants, or other options to restore function.
  • Cosmetic enhancements: Teeth whitening, orthodontics, and other treatments to boost your confidence.
  • Specialized care: Solutions for gum health, misalignment, or other unique dental needs.

Financing & Insurance

We believe that quality dental care should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer flexible payment and financing options, making it easier to get the treatment you need. Our team is here to help with:

  • Insurance verification: We’ll check your benefits and help you maximize coverage.
  • Flexible financing: CareCredit options are available for qualified patients.
