Your next step is to reach out to our New Patient Concierge directly at 1-860-554-1130 via call and text to let them know your name and email, and that you submitted an online form and would be a traveling patient. The patient concierge will reach out to you via phone to have a preliminary conversation about your needs and additional relevant information.
6. If we have already received your diagnostics, you will be emailed a POTENTIAL TREATMENT PLAN of what COULD BE DIAGNOSED when you arrive at our office AFTER the scheduled New Patient Appointment 2.5-hour evaluation, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This will have the potential treatment and potential costs. Costs are subject to change if, after the in-office evaluation, new clinical issues/challenges are discovered. If we have not received your 3D CBCT scan or Pano, please move to step 7. A deposit might be collected before sending out the full treatment plan estimate of approximately $500.
7. If you have not yet sent a copy of your most recent (<6 months) 3D CBCT scan or pano, you will be instructed to send an existing CBCT (Conebeam 3D image) and existing diagnostics to our email address (if you have not done so in step 4). If you do not have either panoramic or x-rays, your next step is to find a location that will take a 3D Conebeam Scan (3D CBCT) of both of your jaws and includes your condial joints (TMJ). We will send you a follow-up CBCT DIRECTIONS email so you can call various offices and ask them about their 3D CBCT scan equipment and exporting directions to ensure you get what you NEED for our office to view your case. The email will have detailed instructions. Once you find a suitable office for your scan, you will follow the CBCB Email Guidance and you will ask for a full export of your 3D CBCT file, which will be given to you as a DICOM file. You will then be asked to send your 3D CBCT scan or, worst case, your 2D Pano image (both jaws) to the email address info@naturaldentistrycenter.com from where you will receive a confirmation email upon submitting the form.

11. If you are in agreement with the cost estimates and an overview of various treatment needs you may have, we will then schedule your initial 2.5 hour new patient appointment, usually 1 day before surgery/treatment. This is required as a separate visit prior to your full dental treatment (surgery/restorations/etc) but in RARE instances maybe incorporated into your total visit with treatment during the afternoon. This is purely dependent on clinical needs and protocols.
12. Once a date and time has been determined for your new patient appointment (all diagnostics, interpretation, evaluation, and treatment planning) and you book your travel, send us a copy of your airfare tickets via email.
13. We will collect a deposit based on the total anticipated cost of treatment – usually, the deposit is anywhere from 20%-40% of the total treatment expected to be done during your week-long visit.
14. If your treatment AND the first new patient appointment visit are being scheduled for the same visit (same trip, same week) as your new patient appointment, you will be asked to pay a deposit that will cover your new patient visit, cover a portion of your estimated treatment costs and will allow us to reserve several hours of anticipated treatment during the time of your visit. Your deposit will be paid via credit card. This deposit and payment is processed over the phone and is required to schedule an appointment.
    1. Should you not have a credit card, you may wire a money transfer or send a check; however, until the funds are in our accounts and settled in the bank, we will not be able to schedule your dental treatment reservation appointments.

Information about West Hartford, CT, where you will be spending most of your time.

West Hartford was published in a New York Times 2021 article that described the cultured town as “A Suburb With an Urban Aesthetic.” The feature article referred to the town as a densely-developed community that’s a “little bit of a liberal enclave” halfway between Boston and New York, NYT writer Lisa Prevost states.

“It is so great to have West Hartford recognized by the New York Times for our vibrancy, stellar restaurant scene, top quality diverse schools, green spaces, and more. It really is such an honor to be the Mayor of this unique and caring town that has so much to offer,” West Hartford Mayor Shari Cantor said of the recent NYT mention. Indeed, West Hartford has the 3rd largest public rose garden in the United States, a professional-casual yet happening restaurant scene, with beautiful fall foliage, and plenty of hiking, shopping, and eating to be found. In Farmington, just over the West Hartford town line, a beautiful mall can be found for those who still enjoy the thrill of in-person shopping. For patients who bring families for “Travel Patient Week,” there are indoor rock climbing facilities, escape rooms, movie theaters, farms with “pick your own” fruits and vegetables, corn mazes and hayrides in the fall, and water sports along the rivers in the summer months. For active little humans, many school playgrounds locally to choose from, splash pads in the summer, and for rainy days, local public libraries offer activities and playrooms.

In August 2020, West Hartford was the only Connecticut town listed in the New York Times article “Leaving New York: How to Choose the Right Suburb.”  The West Hartford town’s website used to feature the motto: “Where City Style Meets Village Charm.”
