Meeting a new dentist can feel like a lot. You might wonder what happens, how long it takes, and what it costs. This guide walks you through your first visit at Family First Dental in Rexburg. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to expect.

New patients get an exam plus X-rays for $79. That price is the same with or without insurance. It’s a simple way to meet the team and check your smile.

New to Rexburg?

Welcome to town. Maybe you moved here for work, for school, or to be near family. Either way, you’ll want a dentist close to home. Family First Dental sits on East Moody Road, just minutes from downtown Rexburg. We’re a new patient dentist in Rexburg, so first visits are something we do every day. We see families from Rexburg, Rigby, Sugar City, and St. Anthony. You won’t have to travel far for good care.

Before you come in

A little prep makes your visit smooth. Bring these with you:

  • A photo ID and your insurance card, if you have one.
  • A list of any medicines you take.
  • The name of your old dentist, if you want records sent over.

You can fill out your forms at home. Doing this ahead of time saves you a few minutes in the waiting room. You’ll find them on our new patient resources page.

Have dental insurance? Bring the card. We accept Delta Dental and file your claim for you. Not sure what your plan covers? Call us and we’ll help you check.

What happens during the visit

Your first visit is about getting to know you. We look, we listen, and we build a plan. Here’s the order it usually follows.

First, we take X-rays. These show what the eye can’t see, like decay between teeth. They help us catch small problems early.

Next, Dr. Stout does your exam. He checks your teeth, gums, and bite. He also screens for gum disease and oral cancer. You can ask him anything along the way.

Then we talk. If your teeth are healthy, wonderful. If something needs work, we explain it in plain words. You’ll see the images right on the screen. That way you see what we see, with no surprises and no pressure.

Many first visits include a cleaning too. A cleaning clears the plaque and tartar that brushing misses. Your gums feel fresher, and your smile looks brighter.

What makes our first visits different

We keep pricing clear from the start. The $79 rate is a flat price, not a teaser. You’ll know the cost before you sit down.

We also show you the proof. When we spot an issue, we point to it on the screen. You get to see the same image we do. That means no pressure and no guesswork. We won’t recommend work you don’t need. If something’s small, we’ll often watch it instead of treating it right away.

And we keep hours that fit your life. Evening and Saturday visits make it easy to come in. You can get care without missing work or school.

How long does it take

Plan for about an hour. First visits run a little longer than regular checkups. That’s because we gather your history and do a full exam. We won’t rush you out the door.

Why regular visits matter

Most dentists recommend a checkup and cleaning about twice a year. The right number depends on your teeth and your risk. Dr. Stout will tell you what fits you. Regular visits help catch problems while they’re still small and cheap to fix. Skipping visits lets little issues grow. A tiny cavity today can turn into a root canal later. Staying on schedule saves you money and stress.

What it costs

New patients pay $79 for the exam and X-rays. That flat price holds whether or not you have insurance. It’s an easy way to try us out.

No insurance? We offer payment plans through Cherry and WellCredit. You can spread the cost over time with no big bill up front. Just ask at the front desk.

Here’s a bonus. Keep up with your cleanings and you get free whitening for life. Active patients keep this perk as long as they stay on schedule.
