New Patients
Welcome to Westlake.
A clear walk-through of what your first visit looks like, what to bring, and how to make the appointment feel easy.
Whether you have been seeing a dentist regularly or it has been a while, we are glad you found us. Westlake Dental Center is built around a calmer pace, a thorough first conversation, and modern technology that helps you understand what is going on in your mouth — not just hear a recommendation. There is no such thing as a wrong question on a first visit.
The pages below cover the practical side of becoming a patient. If you would rather just call, our team is reachable at 540-443-3002.

What to bring.

- A list of current medications, including supplements and dosages. We coordinate with your physician when needed.

- Completed registration forms. See the Patient Registration page for the easy way to do this before you arrive.
- A few minutes early. Arrive 10–15 minutes before your appointment so we can settle you in without rush.
