Surprises are hardly ever good when it comes to dentistry, so our team at Green Valley Dental goes out of its way to ensure you know exactly what to expect at each visit, including the first one! You’ll find plenty of helpful information below about your initial appointment and our payment options, plus you can fill out our forms to save time! If you have any questions after reading over everything, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Your First Visit

Doctor Whittaker talking to a dental patient

Your first appointment will mostly revolve around a comprehensive dental exam. With it, Dr. Whittaker will not only provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan, but he’ll go above and beyond to paint a complete picture of your oral health. He’ll tell you what you need while simplifying things so you have a good idea of where your oral health is going. The majority of patients need some type of treatment, and Dr. Whittaker wants to take care of any possible issues sooner rather than later before they can turn into potentially expensive problems.

You should expect to be in the chair for at least an hour, but Dr. Whittaker is prepared to take longer if that’s what is best (and your schedule can accommodate). To ensure the experience is a comfortable one, you’ll have access to amenities like warm blankets, fresh pillows, and more.

Patient Forms

Dental Insurance

Dr. Whittaker is an in-network provider with Delta Dental, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Guardian, which means he’s able to offer the highest level of savings to patients with these plans. Our team is also able to work with several other plans, and we’ll go over your benefits with you beforehand so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered.

In-House Dental Savings Plan

At Green Valley Dental, you don’t need insurance to pay less and get more when it comes to your dental care. Our in-house savings plan offers an alternative that costs less out-of-pocket compared to regular insurance, but it offers many of the same benefits. Plus, it has no deductibles, annual maximums, or waiting periods to slow you down. To learn more and sign up, just give us a call.

CareCredit Financing

If you’re interested in getting some cosmetic dental work done, or you think you might need more involved treatment, you don’t have to pay for everything at once. CareCredit allows patients to break up their costs into small monthly installments designed to suit their budget. They offer many plans with low-to-no-interest, and we can help you sign up during your appointment with us.
