Before You Arrive
Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, and any completed patient forms. If you plan to fill out forms in the office, arriving a little early helps keep your visit on schedule.
How do I schedule an appointment with Friendly Dental Group?
You can request an appointment online or call the office that is most convenient for you. If you are not sure which office to choose, start with the locations page and search near your home, work, or school.
Which Friendly Dental Group location should I choose?
Choose the office that best fits your location, schedule, and dental needs. Each location page includes office details, directions, contact information, and available providers so you can compare nearby options.
What should I bring to my first dental appointment?
Please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you are using insurance, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical history. Completing your patient forms before the visit can also make check-in easier.
Do I need to complete patient forms before my visit?
It is not always required, but completing forms ahead of time can save time when you arrive. If you are unsure which forms apply to your visit, contact the office where your appointment is scheduled.
Will I need dental X-rays?
Your dentist may recommend X-rays based on your dental history, symptoms, and exam. X-rays help the dental team evaluate areas that are not visible during a visual exam, including the roots, bone, and spaces between teeth.
What happens after my dental exam?
The dentist will review the findings with you and discuss recommended next steps. If treatment is needed, the team can help explain priorities, timing, insurance estimates, payment options, and scheduling before care begins.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
Friendly Dental Group works with many dental insurance plans and files claims as a convenience for patients. Coverage varies by plan, so bring your insurance card and contact your selected office if you have questions about your benefits.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
If you do not have dental insurance, ask about payment options, financing, and the Friendly Dental Plan. The plan is designed to help patients without insurance save on dental care at participating Friendly Dental Group offices.
Can I be seen quickly for tooth pain or a dental emergency?
If you have tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental concern, call the nearest Friendly Dental Group office as soon as possible. Many locations offer same-week options, and the team can help you find the earliest available appointment.
Do you see children and families?
Yes. Friendly Dental Group provides care for families, and pediatric dentistry is available through select offices and providers. The locations page can help you find an office that fits your child or family care needs.
What dental services does Friendly Dental Group provide?
Services vary by office and provider, but Friendly Dental Group offers a wide range of care, including preventive dentistry, fillings, crowns, veneers, teeth whitening, dentures, implants, root canals, extractions, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontic options.
Can I choose a specific dentist or provider?
You can ask for a specific provider when scheduling. Availability depends on the office, provider schedule, and the type of care you need. The doctors page and individual location pages can help you review providers before you book.
