First Visit Expectations

If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at the dentist.  Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to North Roanoke Dental Associates.

Proudly Welcoming New Patients

Welcome to North Roanoke Dental Associates! We’re so glad you’ve found us and are honored that you’re considering our practice for your family’s dental care. Dr. Brett and our caring team are dedicated to providing gentle, personalized, and high-quality dentistry in a warm, welcoming environment.

Whether you’re visiting for a routine check-up, a dental concern, or to explore cosmetic or restorative options, we want every experience here to feel comfortable and stress-free. We’re proud to serve patients from Roanoke and throughout Southwest Virginia with the same level of care we’d provide to our own families.


Your First Visit With Us

We understand that visiting a new dentist can feel uncertain at first, so we make every effort to ensure your first appointment is relaxed, informative, and enjoyable. From the moment you walk through our doors, our friendly team will make you feel right at home.

Here’s what to expect at your first visit:

A Warm Welcome: You’ll be greeted by our front desk team and guided through any initial forms or questions. We take time to get to know you and help you feel at ease before your appointment begins.

Comprehensive Exam: Dr. Brett will perform a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This allows us to understand your unique needs and create a personalized care plan tailored specifically for you.

Open Discussion & Education: We believe in empowering our patients through understanding. Dr. Brett will review his findings with you, answer your questions, and provide practical tips for maintaining your healthiest smile between visits.


Dental Insurance

We know that understanding dental insurance can sometimes be confusing or frustrating, so our team is here to make the process simple.

At North Roanoke Dental Associates, we proudly accept most dental insurance plans so that you can make the most of your benefits while receiving high-quality care from our trusted team. We’re also happy to handle all claim submissions and paperwork on your behalf—allowing you to focus on your dental health, not the forms.

If you ever have questions about coverage or treatment costs, we’ll take the time to review your options clearly and honestly. Our goal is to help you feel confident and informed about your care, every step of the way.

We believe your dental health should never be limited by insurance coverage. That’s why we work with you to find solutions that fit your needs, always keeping your long-term oral health as our top priority.


In-House Wellness Plan

For patients without dental insurance, or those who prefer a straightforward, affordable alternative, we offer an in-house membership plan designed to make routine dental care more accessible.

Our membership plan includes:

  • Substantial savings on preventive visits and cleanings

  • Discounts on restorative and cosmetic treatments

  • Simple, transparent pricing with no hidden fees

This plan helps remove financial barriers so you can stay proactive with your oral health year-round.


At North Roanoke Dental Associates, our mission is simple: to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile in the most comfortable way possible. We look forward to welcoming you into our dental family and making your first visit a positive experience from start to finish.
