New Patient Information
We can’t wait to meet you!
Always welcoming new patients
At TLC Escondido, first appointments take about an hour and a half and include:
- Digital x-rays
- Full set of intraoral high definition photos
- Oral cancer screening
- Gentle examination
- Personalized treatment plan
We’ll schedule your dental cleaning separately from your first appointment. This gives us the chance to evaluate your health and determine what type of cleaning you need.
Keeping our patients safe
In response to COVID-19, we’re following enhanced guidelines outlined by the ADA and CDC to confidently serve our community. You’ll be cared for in a sanitized space, with carefully sterilized equipment, by a compassionate team in enhanced PPE.
We’ve also updated our processes to ensure your safety:
- Spacing out appointments
- Pre-visit health check
- Contactless check-in
- Social distancing maintained

What to expect from your first visit
When you book your first appointment at our Escondido dentist office, our entire team will celebrate! We love welcoming new patients and you’re no exception.
Complete new patient paperwork ahead of time or come a few minutes early to fill out forms here in our friendly waiting room. You might also enjoy a complimentary warm beverage or spend a few minutes chatting with our front desk team.
When your dental assistant and hygienist are ready for you, we’ll get you settled into a patient room and make sure you’re comfy. Throughout your appointment, we promise to deliver personalized, easygoing care and our undivided attention. You’ll leave with that lovely, slippery clean teeth feeling and a plan for any follow-up care.
Payment options
Our Escondido dentist office happily accepts a combination of payment methods:
- Most major insurances
- Cash, money order, and personal checks
- All major credit cards
No insurance? Our in-house membership plans can help you afford the care you need.
We also offer CareCredit as a great option for financing your care — it’s like a credit card for your health expenses. You may even qualify for 0% interest. Apply today or let us know if you have any questions.

I’ve only had excellent care at TLC. The staff is wonderful and bend over backward to help you out. I’ve never had a crown that didn’t need constant adjusting until I went to TLC. She popped it in and it was perfect. I highly recommend going here.

I recently was the Matron of Honor for my sister’s wedding so I used whitening strips I got at TLC and my teeth have never been whiter! I felt my absolute best for my sister’s big day and I LOVE my sparkling white teeth, thank you TLC for recommending the whitening strips!
This is a judgement-free zone.
If you haven’t seen an Escondido dentist in a while, it’s okay. Let’s not dwell on the past. What matters now is that you’re choosing to get your dental health back on track.
