Frequently asked questions
How do I find a dentist accepting new patients near me?
Search by city or ZIP and filter to 'Accepting new patients'. New-patient status is set by each office on their claimed listing and should be confirmed by phone before your first visit.
Why are some dentists not accepting new patients?
Established practices sometimes pause new patients to keep wait times reasonable for existing patients. Newer offices, larger group practices, and Medicaid providers are usually the easiest to get into quickly.
What should I ask before booking a first appointment?
Confirm the dentist takes your insurance plan (not just the carrier), the cost of a new-patient exam and X-rays, current wait time for a routine cleaning, and whether the office handles emergencies for established patients.
Do dentists accepting new patients also take Medicaid?
Many do. Filter by Medicaid in addition to 'Accepting new patients' to narrow the list, and confirm the specific managed care plan with the office before scheduling.
