Yes! Hastings Dental accepts new patients and is often able to schedule appointments within a few weeks or even days. Your first visit will usually include an appointment with the doctor for a comprehensive exam and all necessary X-rays. During your new patient appointment, you can speak with our dentists about any specific trouble areas or concerns.
In the past, you may have been able to schedule your first appointment with a new dentist for just a dental cleaning. However, our dentists follow current standards in the dental field and all new patients receive a comprehensive oral examination and any necessary X-rays. This ensures that the dentist has a full and clear picture of your mouth and oral health before proceeding with care. If cleaning is the proper next course of treatment, appointments are often available on the same day.
At Hastings Dental, we strive to make quality dental care accessible to everyone. We are in-network with Delta Dental Premier and Health Partners insurance plans and accept most dental insurance providers.
For those without insurance or in need of flexible payment solutions, we proudly accept CareCredit and Sunbit, making it easier to manage your dental expenses. Our team is happy to discuss your financial options and find a solution that works for your budget. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
