New Patients at McElroy Smiles in Encinitas
A welcoming first visit, a clear plan, and time to ask anything
What happens at your first visit?
Insurance, financing, and options if you have no insurance
If you feel nervous, you are in good hands
A new patient visit is $200. It includes a thorough exam, a professional cleaning, and any X-rays you need, plus a clear conversation about what we found and your options. If treatment is recommended, we will walk you through the cost and any financing before anything is scheduled.
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you take. We will send your new patient forms ahead of time, so if you complete them before you arrive, check-in takes just a few minutes.
We are in-network with most major PPO dental plans, and we are happy to file claims for you even if we are out-of-network, so you get the most from your benefits. If you do not have insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit, Proceed, and Sunbit, along with a yearly membership plan. Call us at (760) 621-8700 and we will check your specific plan.
Yes. Helping anxious patients is one of the things we are known for. We move at your pace, explain everything first, and offer nitrous, oral, and IV sedation when it helps. Dr. Greg is among a small number of dentists certified in IV sedation. You are welcome to send a question through Ask a Quick Question before you ever book.
