A 2-Hour Consultation Focused on YOUR Health
Your experience at Vaca and Kirby will be unlike any other. We take our time with each patient to get to know them and their health goals.
When you arrive for your new patient appointment, a member of our team will greet you with a smile and quickly handle your paperwork. You’ll meet your hygienist, and they’ll escort you to a treatment room where they will get to know you, take time to explain our philosophy on the oral-systemic link, and discuss your health and smile goals.
We will then do a thorough exam and salivary test to understand where your oral health is. You’ll meet Dr. David Vaca or Dr. Chris Kirby during your checkup. They will discuss your goals for your smile and then perform a comprehensive exam. With your information, they will prepare a personalized treatment plan for you.
Patient education is very important to us, so you’ll be encouraged to ask any questions you might have. We want to answer any questions you may have regarding your appointment.
After your appointment, your hygienist will escort you to the front desk where you’ll receive a welcome gift and letter, thanking you for choosing our practice, and then we’ll schedule your next visit.
Returning Patients
We take our time with each patient during routine visits and cleanings as well.
Our hygienist will escort you back to their room, where they will offer a dental cleaning that uses safe dental materials, such as ProBiora products that balance the bacteria in your mouth for optimal health.
Dr. Vaca or Dr. Kirby will then complete an exam, ensuring that your mouth is healthy. We may also do salivary testing, for indicators of whole-body health concerns.
Insurance and Financing
If you have dental insurance, we will always file it for you. We are not a contracted provider for any plan, but our team is extremely adept at working with insurance companies to make sure you always get the most out of your benefits. Our insurance coordinator will help you determine your out-of-pocket cost.
For patients who currently do not have insurance, or for those who need more involved procedures, we can also help them get low-to-no-interest financing with CareCredit and Lending Club.
