New Patient Forms at Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center
Welcome to Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center. We know that visiting a new specialist can feel like a big step, so we have put together this page to help you feel prepared and comfortable before you even walk through our door. Whether you were referred by your general dentist or found us while searching for a periodontist in Rolla, MO, we want your first visit to go smoothly from start to finish.
Paperwork will be sent by Kasper when you schedule.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We designed our new patient experience to be welcoming, informative, and unhurried. Here is a look at how your visit will unfold from the moment you arrive.
Arrival and Welcome: Our front desk team will greet you, confirm your paperwork, and answer any early questions.
Office Tour: If you would like, we are glad to walk you through our Rolla office so you can see where you will be spending your time and meet a few friendly faces along the way.
X-rays and Baseline Information: Our assistant will take digital x-rays and gather baseline information about your gum health and overall oral condition using our imaging technology.
Evaluation: Dr. Bruin will perform a thorough evaluation of your gums, teeth, and jawbone, including an oral cancer screening, which we perform at every new patient visit.
Treatment Options Discussion: Dr. Bruin believes in educating patients first in a way they can understand. He will walk you through what he found and explain the treatment paths available to you in plain, understandable language.
Treatment Presentation: Depending on your needs, Dr. Bruin may present a personalized treatment plan with you, sometimes in a private consultation room where you can ask questions and discuss next steps without feeling rushed.

A Comfortable, Relationship Focused Visit
Dr. Bruin's approach is built on education and trust. He wants every patient leaving Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center to feel informed about their gum health and confident in the plan ahead, not overwhelmed by clinical terms or rushed decisions. We also offer small comforts throughout your visit, including warm blankets and warmed, scented face towels, so you feel cared for the moment you sit down. If sedation options would help you relax during treatment, nitrous oxide is available and Dr. Bruin can discuss whether it is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to complete new patient forms before my appointment?
It is not required, but it is strongly encouraged. Completing our new patient forms ahead of time helps our Rolla, MO team prepare for your visit and reduces the amount of time you spend on paperwork once you arrive.
How long does a first visit at Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center take?
This depends on your treatment needs and the extent of those needs. This also depends on the information you bring or your referring dentist provides. Taking X-rays alone can add half an hour to the appointment for a large case. If you are in a time crunch, let's reschedule rather than rush. It's important we have plenty of time to review diagnostic imaging and treatment options rather than rush into treatment. Of course, we ask you to give us 48 hours notice of any cancellation -- due to our limited availability relative to the large area we serve it's important that we spend our time taking care of those who are able to take advantage of our care.
What should I bring with me to my first appointment?
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance information if applicable, and a list of any medications you currently take. If there's anything else you think may help us know more about you and your goals, bring it!
