If you fill out your new patient forms well ahead of your appointment, it's helpful for us because then it gives us time to request your records from your previous office (if applicable.) Please bring your dental insurance information (or your CDCP member card, if you have one), and a list of any medications you take.
Your first visit gives us a complete picture of your oral health. We'll review your medical and dental history, take any X-rays you need, and do a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. We'll also screen for oral cancer. Your dentist will go over what we find, answer your questions, and walk you through any recommended treatment so you can decide what's right for you.
Transferring your records is simple. Give us the name of your previous dental office and sign a records release form, and we'll request your X-rays and treatment history for you. Most offices send records within a few business days. Having your history on file helps us avoid unnecessary repeat X-rays and continue any treatment you already have in progress.
No, you don't need a referral to book with a general dentist in Alberta. You can call Vista Dental at (403) 548-7077 or request an appointment online. Referrals are usually only needed for specialist care, such as certain oral surgery procedures. If you need specialist treatment, we'll coordinate the referral for you.
