The
first birthday is the time for the first
dental visit. Waiting until all the baby
teeth have come in is not necessary and is
often too late for children that are at high
risk for early childhood cavities. Do not
wait until your child is in pain or you
notice problems!
Your child's first visit to our office is
the most important one. This will be the
time for us to establish trust and
understanding between Dr. Ben, your child,
our staff, and yourself.

To help
our younger patients become more comfortable
with dental treatment, Dr. Villalon can
perform a "knee-to-knee" exam, easing your
child's apprehension.
For this first visit, we will require a
legal guardian to accompany the child due to
federal and state laws and regulations. If
necessary, please provide court
documentation of guardianship. Also we ask
that you arrive on time to this first visit
as there will be forms and policies to be
filled out. To save time, you may print some
of these forms out in advance on this site
to bring in with you. Please do not sign
this form as we will require that it is
signed in our presence.
We strive to
make you and your child feel comfortable as
we welcome you into our dental family. Once
all of the necessary forms and paperwork are
completed, our patient coordinator will
bring you and your child into our new
patient area. She will review your child’s
medical history and current dental concerns.
Dr. Villalon will then conduct a thorough
examination and discuss any necessary
treatment and answer any dental questions.
During this
time, our administrative staff will enter
the needed treatment into our computer
system. Our treatment coordinator,
will then present you with a comprehensive
treatment plan and financing options that
may be needed. We accept Visa, MasterCard,
Discover and American express as well as
personal checks and cash for your portion of
treatment fees. We also offer no down
payment plans available based upon your
credit status as needed. We accept any
insurance allowable upon your contract, and
will file claims for your convenience.
We will be sure
you leave our office knowledgeable and
satisfied that you and your child have been
cared for well by Dr. Ben and our staff. If
you have any questions at any time, please
ask!
