Patient Resources

Another way we help patients feel comfortable and confident in the care we provide is by offering the information they need in order to prepare for their first visit to Heart of Texas Smiles, including new patient information forms, dental patient education, post treatment care instructions and tips, our financial and insurance policies, and more. Explore our patient resources or contact our Waco, TX team to find out more or schedule your next visit to our office.

Your First Dental Visit

After being greeted by our front desk team, you’ll be offered a complimentary coffee or water while you relax in our reception area. You’ll then be escorted to your treatment room where an assistant will begin the appointment by taking a few scans and X-rays of your mouth. Afterward, you’ll meet your dentist, who will take some time to chat with you before performing a comprehensive oral exam. They’ll discuss their observations with you, talk about any treatments you might need, and then a hygienist will give you a refreshing dental cleaning.

New Patient Forms

Our patient forms are available for you to print and fill out prior to your appointment. Please bring forms and dental insurance cards with you. Thank you.

Dental Insurance

In order to make payments convenient for our customers, we offer several options.

Our team will gladly help you with an estimate of benefits prior to your treatment and with filing your insurance claim. We are a participating provider for the insurance companies listed below. If we are out-of-network for your insurance, we will help you file a claim. Patients are responsible for the difference between the insurance benefit and the cost of the procedure.
