Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Doctors

How do I choose the right dentist for my family?

Start by thinking about who's in your household. Families with young kids often appreciate a doctor comfortable with children and gentle first visits, while adults needing restorative or cosmetic work may want a doctor with more experience in those specific procedures. At Havens Family Dental, every doctor on our team sees patients of all ages, so you're welcome to request whoever you feel most comfortable with, or simply let our front desk match you with an available provider.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit typically includes a thorough exam, digital x-rays if needed, and a conversation about your dental history and any concerns you have. Your doctor will walk you through their findings in plain language and discuss a treatment plan before anything moves forward. Plan on spending a little extra time at this visit compared to a routine cleaning, since we want to get a complete picture of your oral health from the start.

Can I request to see a specific doctor?

Absolutely. If you've already met one of our doctors or read through their profile and want to continue seeing them, just let us know when you book and we'll do our best to schedule you with that provider. Many of our patients build a long-term relationship with one doctor over several years of visits.

Do all of your doctors treat children as well as adults?

Yes. Our practice is built around whole-family care, which means our doctors regularly treat patients from toddlers getting their first cleaning to grandparents needing restorative work. This makes it easy to book everyone in the household at the same office, and often on the same day, without having to coordinate separate dental practices.

What if I need a specialist for a more complex issue?

Our doctors handle a broad range of general and restorative dentistry in-house, so most patients won't need a referral. For the rare case that calls for a specialist outside our scope, your doctor will walk you through your options and help coordinate that next step so you're never left to figure it out on your own.

How often will I see the same doctor at follow-up visits?

We try to keep you with the same doctor for continuity of care, especially if you're in the middle of a treatment plan. Our scheduling team prioritizes matching returning patients with the provider they've already seen, which helps your doctor track progress and catch changes in your oral health over time.

Are your doctors accepting new patients right now?

Yes, our Blacklick office is currently welcoming new patients of every age. You can book online through our scheduling link or call our front desk directly, and we'll help you find an appointment time and doctor that fits your family's needs.

What should I bring to my first visit with a new doctor?

Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you're currently taking. If you have records or recent x-rays from a previous dentist, bringing copies can help your new doctor get up to speed faster. Our front desk is happy to answer any questions about paperwork before you arrive.
