Getting to Know You and Your Smile
Meeting new patients is one of our favorite parts of the day at Family Dentistry of Yorktown. Your first appointment with Dr. Ken Wachs, DDS, or Dr. Jennifer Wachs, DDS, members of the New York State Dental Association, starts with a comprehensive oral exam, after which we will create a treatment plan to help you reach and maintain good oral health.
Ready for your first visit? Call our Yorktown Heights office at 914-245-9881 to schedule with one of our doctors.
From the moment you walk in, our team is dedicated to making you feel at ease, cared for, and valued. We listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and get to know you so we can provide care tailored just for you. At your first appointment, we’ll review your dental history and perform a thorough examination, ensuring you feel relaxed and supported throughout. We’re committed to building lasting relationships and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
Reminders for your first visit:
- Please complete your registration forms prior to your appointment. If you are unable to complete our forms prior to your visit, please arrive 10-15 minutes early so you can complete them in our office.
- Bring your dental insurance card and ID
- Bring any prior dental records that are available to you
- Patients under the age of 18 should bring their parent or legal guardian to the appointment

- If you need antibiotics before dental work, please take them as prescribed. If you are unsure whether you need antibiotics, please consult your doctor before your visit.
Whether you need a cleaning, a filling, or even a brand-new smile, we are here to help. Great dental care doesn’t just create a fantastic smile; it also supports overall health and wellness. If you have a special occasion coming up or want to brighten your smile, ask us about whitening or other cosmetic dental options. We want you to have the confidence to share your smile with the world!
Pediatric First Visit
Your child’s first visit to our dental office can help you and your child feel more comfortable and at ease about dental care. We have found that informing your child about their first dental visit can help set the stage for a positive dental experience, and we encourage parents to accompany their children during their visit. This provides an opportunity to see us working with your child and allows us to discuss dental findings and treatment needs directly with you.
During this visit, we will get to know your child and help them feel comfortable by explaining what will happen and showing them the tools we will use to help keep their smile healthy. We will also discuss your child’s medical/dental health history, evaluate your child’s teeth and gums, and review proper dental hygiene instructions. Regular visits to the dentist allow us to observe dental changes and set your child on the path to a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime! We look forward to meeting you and your child for your first appointment!
