Welcome — we're glad you're here
New patients welcome
Thank you for considering Kentfield Dental. Here's exactly what to expect, so your first visit feels easy from the start.
We make joining the practice simple. New patients across Kentfield and Marin are always welcome, and your first visit is unhurried, friendly, and focused on understanding what you need.
What to expect at your first visit
A warm welcome
We'll get to know you, talk through your concerns and goals, and review your health history — no rushing, no judgment.
A thorough, modern exam
Low-radiation digital x-rays and an intraoral camera let us see what's going on and show it to you on screen, so you understand exactly what we see.
A clear, honest plan
If anything needs attention, we'll explain your options in plain English and the reasoning behind each one — you're always in control.
What to bring
- A photo ID
- Your dental insurance card, if you have one
- A list of any medications you take
- Recent x-rays or records from a previous dentist, if available
The first conversation is on us. We offer free consultations and second opinions — a no-pressure way to explore your options or get a confident answer.
Insurance & comfort, handled
We're a fee-for-service, out-of-network practice, and we still work to maximize your dental benefits and handle the claims and billing for you. See our insurance & financing page for details. And if dental visits make you anxious, we offer sedation and a calm, comfort-first office — just let us know.
