New Patient Information at Your Crescent, OK Dentist

New patients are always welcome at Pinnacle Dental. Whether you are overdue for a cleaning, looking for a new dental home for your whole family, or nervous about what to expect, this page walks you through everything before you ever set foot in our door. We accept Children's Medicaid and most major PPO dental plans, and we offer an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance, so cost does not have to stand in the way of care.

What to Bring to Your First Dental Visit

Getting ready for your first visit is simple. Here is what helps us get started right away.

New Patient Forms (Digital via Modento)

We use Modento for digital intake, which means no clipboard in the waiting room. Before your appointment, you will receive a link to complete your forms online from your phone or computer. You can also start the process now at our new patient sign-up page. It takes just a few minutes and makes check-in much smoother.

Insurance Cards and ID

Please bring:

  • Your dental insurance card (if applicable)
  • A government-issued photo ID
  • A list of any medications you take, including vitamins and supplements
  • Any questions or concerns you want to discuss

New Patient Information: Insurance and Payment Options at Pinnacle Dental

Figuring out how to pay for dental care should not be stressful. We offer several options so you can focus on your health, not your wallet. Full details are available on our Insurance & Financing page.

PPO Plans and Children's Medicaid

We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and Children's Medicaid. If you are not sure whether your plan works with our office, give us a call and we will look into it for you before your visit.

Financing Through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon

For treatments that require a bigger investment, we offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon. These options let you spread payments over time so you can move forward with care on a schedule that fits your budget.

In-House Membership Plan for Uninsured Patients

No insurance? Our membership plan through DentalHQ is built for patients who pay out of pocket. It covers two cleanings, two exams, x-rays, and emergency exams per year, plus a discount on other treatments. Plans are available for children, adults, and patients who need periodontal maintenance. Most HSA and FSA cards are accepted.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first appointment is about getting to know you, your health history, and your goals. There is no pressure and no rush.

Your Exam and X-Rays

We will start by asking about your medical and dental history. Then we will take digital x-rays and perform a thorough exam that includes a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of gum disease are present, you will have a routine cleaning the same day. If we do find signs of gum disease, we may schedule a separate appointment to give that visit the time it deserves.

Meeting Dr. Mansell and the Team

Once your exam is complete, Dr. Mansell will walk you through what he found and talk through any recommended next steps. He takes time to answer questions and explain things clearly, so you always know what is going on and why. Our team works the same way: no judgment, no rush, just honest conversation about your teeth. Learn more about all the services we offer under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete paperwork before my appointment?

Yes, and it only takes a few minutes from your phone or computer. We send new patients a digital intake link through Modento so you can fill out your forms before you arrive. Completing them ahead of time helps us spend your appointment time on your care, not paperwork.

What insurance does Pinnacle Dental accept?

We accept Children's Medicaid and most major PPO dental plans. If you are unsure whether your plan is in-network, contact us and we will be glad to check for you before your visit.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

No insurance? No problem. Our in-house membership plan through DentalHQ gives uninsured patients access to cleanings, exams, x-rays, and discounts on other treatments for a low monthly or yearly fee. We also offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon to help spread out the cost of larger treatments.
