Your First Appointment
What to Expect at Your First Oral Dentist Appointment
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive exam. Your oral dentist reviews your dental and medical history, takes any X-rays that are needed and assesses your teeth, gums and bite in full.
This first evaluation lets the team spot any existing concerns and record a baseline that future visits are compared against.
History Review
The dentist goes over your dental and medical history with you.
X-Rays If Needed
Any X-rays required for your assessment are taken at this visit.
Full Assessment
Your teeth, gums and bite are checked to find current concerns and set a baseline for future care.
Before You Arrive
What to Bring When Visiting Your Oral Dentist
Plan to arrive a few minutes before your appointment time, and bring:
- A Valid Photo ID
- Your Alberta Health Care Card
- Your dental insurance information, if you have coverage

Our Approach
Our Approach to New Patient Care
Apple Wellness Dental focuses on personalized care built around your needs. Our team takes time to understand your concerns, then puts together a treatment plan that fits your own oral health goals.
Coverage and Payment
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal government program that pays part of the dental care costs for eligible Canadian residents, with the goal of lowering the financial barriers to treatment.
We accept all dental insurance, including the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). If the CDCP covers you at 100%, we do not collect any remaining balance. If your CDCP coverage is partial, the plan pays its share and we can arrange the rest through our payment plan options.
Other Ways to Pay
Along with the CDCP, we offer direct billing to most private insurance providers and follow the Alberta Fee Guide. Whether you have the CDCP, private insurance or pay out of pocket, our administrative team can explain your options before treatment.
Who Qualifies for the CDCP
Applicants must meet all of these criteria:
- No Existing Dental Insurance Coverage
- Adjusted family net income below $90,000
- Canadian Resident for Tax Purposes
- Filed a tax return for the previous year
