Your first visit at Harbor Point Dental
Everything you need to know before your first appointment — insurance, costs, what to bring, and our policies.
Booking your first appointment
New-patient visits are 60 minutes and include a full exam, digital X-rays, and a conversation about any concerns you have. We hold morning and late-afternoon slots specifically for new patients, and we keep a few same-day openings for emergencies. You can request a time through this page or call the front desk at (555) 010-2233.
Insurance & what it costs
We're in-network with most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, and Aetna. If you're insured with one of these, your new-patient exam and cleaning are typically covered at 100%, with X-rays covered at 80–100% depending on your plan. We'll verify your specific benefits before the visit so there are no surprises.
No insurance? A new-patient exam, cleaning, and X-rays are $149 as a bundled self-pay rate. We also offer a $99/year membership that covers two cleanings, exams, and X-rays, plus 15% off other treatments.
Financing larger treatment
For treatment plans over $500, we offer interest-free payment plans over 6–12 months through CareCredit, with approval usually taking a few minutes in the office. We never start treatment beyond a cleaning without walking you through the full cost first.
What to bring
- A photo ID and your insurance card (or member details).
- A list of any medications you take.
- Any recent dental X-rays from a previous provider, if you have them.
Cancellations
Plans change — we just ask for 24 hours' notice so we can offer the slot to someone else. Cancellations inside 24 hours, or missed appointments, carry a $50 fee after the first occurrence.
Parking & accessibility
Free patient parking is in the lot directly behind the building, off 2nd Avenue — look for the Harbor Point sign. The entrance and all treatment rooms are wheelchair accessible, and there's metered street parking on Main Street if the lot is full.
Hours
Monday–Thursday 8am–5pm, Friday 8am–2pm. Closed weekends, with an after-hours emergency line at (555) 010-2233.
