New Patients in Pennington, NJ

Start Here Before Your First Appointment

New patient paperwork covers the basics our clinical team needs before we can provide care, including your health history, insurance information, and any concerns you would like to address during your visit. For pediatric patients, a parent or legal guardian will need to complete the forms on the child's behalf. We serve families from Pennington, Trenton, Princeton, and Hopewell, and we want every first visit to feel welcoming and well-prepared rather than rushed.

Forms for Pediatric, Orthodontic, and General Dental Visits

Because we offer pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and general and cosmetic dental care all under one roof, the forms you need may vary depending on which department you are visiting. Pediatric patients, orthodontic patients beginning treatment with braces or Angel Aligners, and adults scheduling general or cosmetic dental appointments each have specific intake requirements. If you are unsure which forms apply to your visit, our front desk team is happy to point you in the right direction when you call or stop in.

Common Questions About Patient Paperwork

Patient Forms: What You Need to Know

  • Do I need to fill out new patient forms even if I have visited a dentist before?

    Yes. Each practice maintains its own records, so you will need to complete our intake paperwork regardless of your dental history elsewhere. This gives our clinical team the information they need about your current health status, medications, insurance coverage, and any concerns specific to your visit. It also helps us personalize your care from the very first appointment, whether you are coming in for a pediatric exam, an orthodontic consultation, or a general dental visit.

  • Can I complete the forms before I arrive, or do I have to fill them out at the office?

    Completing your forms in advance is encouraged. Arriving with your paperwork already done allows our team to review your information before you are seated, which helps your appointment start on time. If you are unable to complete the forms ahead of time, please plan to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to fill everything out before your scheduled appointment begins.

  • Who is responsible for completing forms on behalf of a child patient?

    A parent or legal guardian must complete all intake and consent forms for pediatric patients. This includes the health history, insurance information, and any authorization forms required before treatment begins. If the adult accompanying the child on the day of the visit is not the legal guardian, please let our front desk know in advance so we can make sure the appropriate paperwork is in order.

  • What information should I have ready when filling out the intake forms?

    You will generally need your dental insurance card, relevant health history, and any available dental records from a previous provider. For orthodontic patients, prior X-rays or treatment records may also provide helpful background on previous care.

  • Are the forms different for orthodontic treatment compared to a routine dental visit?

    Yes. Because the practice offers pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and general and cosmetic dental care, paperwork may vary depending on the type of care being provided. Orthodontic patients may have forms specific to their treatment, while patients receiving preventive or restorative dental care may have different intake requirements.

  • How do I update my insurance or health information between appointments?

    Let our front desk team know as soon as possible, either when you call to schedule your next appointment or when you check in on the day of your visit. Keeping your insurance details and health history current helps us submit claims accurately and ensures our clinical team has an up-to-date picture of your health before providing any treatment. You may be asked to complete a brief update form if significant time has passed since your last visit.
