Your First Visit
Many patients give us a call to schedule the appointment but you can also message us on our website and we will reach out to you. Our friendly front desk team will collect the personal and insurance information from you and give you a new patient appointment at your preference. After that, you will receive the New Patient Registration form and Health History Forms sent to you in text or email, so you can fill them out from the comfort of your home. You will also appointment confirmation and reminder before your appointment date.
When you arrive at the practice at the time of your appointment, you’ll be greeted warmly by our front desk team. They will confirm that all of the necessary paperwork is completed. You’ll then be brought to the back of the office by our dental assistant who will ask you about your dental concerns and take X-rays. After that, Dr. Madeleine Zhao will come in for a comprehensive dental examination. Depending on her findings, she will explain to you what will be done next. Most patients will receive a regular dental cleaning at the appointment and if treatment is recommended, we will give you a breakdown of the cost along with the information on insurance coverage, membership savings plan, and in-house financing options as applicable. Sometimes if the treatment is minor and we have time, we will complete the treatment at the same visit for you. At the end of the appointment, you or your child can expect a goody bag with oral hygiene supplies. We have a treasure box full of fun toys for the small children. We usually tell them to go hunt in the box and they all like it very much!

PPO and Medicare
Children’s Medicaid/CHIP
Specials, Discounts, and Genesis Dental Membership Plan for patients without dental insurance
Payment Plan by 3rd Party Financing
If you have a PPO plan or Medicare plan ( people over age 65 or have a disability ), we accept it. If you have Children’s Medicaid plan, eg. Dentaquest, MCNA, and UHC, we accept it. If you don’t have dental insurance, new patient and emergency pt specials and discounts offer significant cost reductions to cash-paying patients.

Children’s Medicaid
At Genesis Dental, we accept 3 Medicaid Children’s Plans: Dentalquest, MCNA, and UHC.
