Dental Clinic Services
If you just moved to Rexburg, you already know the schedule here is different. Class blocks, part-time jobs, and tight budgets shape when and how people get care. Family First Dental is a Rexburg dental clinic built around that reality. Our DDS has 20 years of experience, and we pair honest, plain-language care with hours that fit your week. That includes late evenings and Saturday appointments. This page walks through what we offer, from imaging to scheduling to financing, so you can find what fits your life right now. We’d rather show you the evidence than ask you to trust us blind. Scan the sections below, find what matches your schedule or your budget, and reach out when you’re ready.

Saturday Appointments Fit Busy Rexburg Schedules
Picture this. It’s Tuesday, you’ve got two classes back to back, then a work shift. Weekday visits just don’t fit. That’s exactly why we offer Saturday Appointments.
A lot of our patients are BYU-Idaho students trying to squeeze in a cleaning or exam between class blocks (and finals week makes this even harder). Weekends solve that problem. You don’t have to skip class or ask a professor for an exception. You just book a Saturday slot and go on with your week.
Saturday Appointments cover one specific weekend day. Weekday evenings are a separate option, and we’ll get to that next. Saturday is for people who need a full day off from their normal routine, not just a couple extra hours after work.
We keep these slots open for exams, cleanings, and other routine visits. Saturdays fill up fast around the start and end of each semester, so book ahead if your week looks tight.
Evening Appointments Cover After-Work and After-Class Hours
Not everyone can give up a Saturday. Some would rather come in after a shift ends or after their last class lets out. That’s what Evening Appointments are for.
We hold evening hours Tuesday and Thursday until 7 PM. That gives you a real window after work or class, no need to ask for time off during the day. It’s a plain fix for a problem a lot of working parents and students run into every semester.
Evening Appointments happen on weekdays after standard hours. Saturday Appointments happen on the weekend day itself. Pick whichever one fits your calendar instead of forcing a daytime slot that isn’t there.
These evening slots work for exams, cleanings, and most routine care. Something more urgent comes up, we’ll work to fit you in during these hours too. Your schedule shouldn’t be the reason you put off a visit.
In-House Payment Plans Break Up Treatment Costs
What happens if you need one specific treatment but paying for it all at once doesn’t work right now? That’s where In-House Payment Plans come in.
We set up a plan directly with you. No bank, no outside lender. You agree on a set of installments for that one procedure, and you pay it down over time. We walk you through the terms before you commit to anything.
In-House Payment Plans cover one procedure at a time. Looking for ongoing coverage for regular visits instead? That’s a different service, In-House Dental Plans, which we explain right below.
Payment plans matter more than people expect when they’re comparing dental clinics. The paperwork is simple, but the terms are what count, so ask questions before signing anything. We’d rather explain it twice than have you feel surprised later.
In-House Dental Plans Support Patients Without Insurance
A lot of Rexburg students and young families work jobs with no dental insurance attached. If that’s you, an In-House Dental Plan might fit better.
Instead of financing one procedure, this works more like ongoing coverage. You pay into the plan, and it covers routine visits plus gives you discounts on other treatment. It’s billed directly through our practice, so there’s no insurance company to deal with.
In-House Dental Plans function as ongoing coverage. In-House Payment Plans only break up the cost of a single treatment. Need regular cleanings and exams year after year? The plan is built for that. Just need help paying off one procedure? The payment plan fits better.
Here’s what an In-House Dental Plan typically includes:
- Routine cleanings and exams
- Discounts on additional treatment
- No dependence on outside insurance approval
- Direct billing through our office
It’s a plain, predictable way to keep up with your dental health without an insurance card in your wallet.

Cone Beam CT Scans Map Bone and Root Structure
Getting ready for an implant, an extraction, or a tricky diagnosis? A Cone Beam CT scan gives us a 3D look at what’s happening under the surface.
This kind of scan shows bone density, root position, and nerve location. We show it to you on-screen, right there in the room, so you see exactly what we’re seeing. No guessing, no vague explanations.
Cone Beam CT Scans image bone and root structure. 3D Scans, covered further down, capture the visible surface of your teeth and bite instead. One looks inside, one looks at the outside. That’s the easiest way to remember the difference.
We see a real local pattern here in Rexburg. Many young adults need imaging before a wisdom-teeth evaluation ahead of extended time away, like a mission. A Cone Beam CT scan gives a clear picture before that timeline gets tight.
Free Wellness Scans Start With a No-Cost Check
Not sure where your dental health stands? A Free Wellness Scan is a no-cost way to find out before you commit to anything paid.
We use this scan to get a baseline look at your teeth and gums. You get real information, not a sales pitch. It’s a low-pressure way to start, especially if you’re new to the area and haven’t picked a dentist yet.
This works well alongside our $79 new patient exam with X-rays, since it gives you a fuller picture without a big upfront cost. We built this because we’d rather show you the evidence first and let you decide what’s next.
Been putting off a visit because you weren’t sure it was worth the cost? This is the easiest place to start. No obligation attached, just a clear look at where things stand.
Care Credit Offers a Healthcare Credit Card Option
Some patients want financing they can use again and again, not just for one visit. Care Credit is built for that.
It works like a healthcare credit card. Once you’re approved, you can use it across multiple visits or treatments over time, not just a single procedure. That flexibility is the main draw for a lot of people.
Care Credit works as a revolving credit card. Cherry Financing, covered next, works as an app-based installment loan instead, with a different approval process entirely. Like the idea of an ongoing credit line tied to your dental care? Care Credit is the more familiar option.
We can walk you through the basics when you come in. The application itself happens directly with Care Credit. We’re just here to help you figure out if it fits what you need.
Cherry Financing Provides an App-Based Loan Option
What if you’d rather skip the credit card process entirely? Cherry Financing gives you a simpler path through an app.
You apply online, and you get a decision without going through a traditional credit card application. It’s built as a fixed installment loan, so you know upfront what your payments look like.
Cherry Financing uses app-based installment approval. Care Credit uses a revolving credit card model instead. Want something quick and mobile-first? Cherry tends to be the more approachable choice for a lot of our patients.
Worth comparing both options before you pick one. Neither wins in every case, it really depends on how you want to pay and what approval process feels easiest for you.
Online Booking/Scheduling Makes Appointments Simple
Hate calling an office during business hours just to book a cleaning? So do a lot of our patients. That’s why we offer Online Booking and Scheduling.
You pick a day and time slot online, day or night, and get instant confirmation. No waiting on hold, no playing phone tag between classes or work shifts.
This ties into everything else on this page. Whether you want a Saturday Appointment, an Evening Appointment, or you’re booking your first Free Wellness Scan, online scheduling turns it into a two-minute task instead of a phone call you keep putting off.
Your time matters. It’s midnight and you just remembered you need a cleaning? You shouldn’t have to wait until morning to get it on the calendar.
3D Scans Capture Your Bite and Tooth Surface
Thinking about aligners, a crown, or a same-day restoration? A 3D Scan maps the shape of your teeth and how your bite fits together.
This is a digital scan, not an X-ray. No radiation involved. It captures the visible surface of your teeth in detail, which helps us plan work that affects how your smile looks and works.
3D Scans capture the visible tooth surface and bite. Cone Beam CT Scans, covered earlier, image the bone and root structure underneath instead. Treatment about what’s visible, like aligners or a crown? A 3D Scan is usually the right tool. About what’s happening below the gumline? That’s when the Cone Beam CT scan takes over.
We use this scan alongside our AI-assisted imaging so you see exactly what we’re planning before any work starts. It’s one more way we keep things transparent from the first visit.
We also offer Weekend Appointments for patients who need extra flexibility beyond a single Saturday slot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide between a Saturday appointment and an evening appointment?
Pick Saturday if your whole weekday is packed with classes or work and you need a full day off from your routine. Pick an evening slot if you just need an hour or two after your shift or last class ends. Both cover exams, cleanings, and most routine care, so the choice comes down to which block fits your week.
What's the difference between an In-House Payment Plan and an In-House Dental Plan?
An In-House Payment Plan breaks up the cost of one specific procedure into installments you pay directly to us. An In-House Dental Plan works more like ongoing coverage, paying into routine visits and getting discounts on future treatment. If you need help with a single treatment, choose the payment plan. If you want year-round coverage without insurance, choose the dental plan.
Do I need a Cone Beam CT scan or just a regular exam?
You need a Cone Beam CT scan if you’re preparing for an implant, extraction, or a diagnosis that involves bone or root structure. A regular exam and 3D scan cover the visible surface of your teeth and bite instead. We see this a lot with BYU-Idaho students getting wisdom teeth checked before extended time away, like a mission.
When should BYU-Idaho students schedule dental care around their semester?
What should I expect during my first visit to Family First Dental?
You’ll get a straightforward exam, plain-language explanations, and any imaging shown to you on-screen so you see what we see. Our DDS has 20 years of experience walking patients through findings without confusing jargon. We’ll also talk through scheduling and payment options that fit your situation before you leave.
I don't have dental insurance. What are my options in Rexburg?
An In-House Dental Plan is built for exactly this situation. It covers routine cleanings and exams plus discounts on other treatment, billed directly through our office with no insurance company involved. It’s a predictable way to keep up with care if your job doesn’t offer dental coverage.
