Demo content — Northline Family Dental is a fictional practice. This page exists to demonstrate the KeoCodes Site Engine. The hours, prices, policies and forms described below are invented, no request sent from this page reaches anyone, and nothing here is medical advice.A first visit costs $149 and runs about 90 minutes — longer than most practices book, on purpose. You leave with a printed plan and a price beside every line on it, and nothing gets scheduled unless you say so.
Booking takes a couple of minutes. We need your name, a way to reach you, and a few times that suit you — that is all. Please keep health details off this website. Symptoms, medicines, insurance ID numbers and dates of birth belong on the paper forms you hand to the front desk, not in a web form.

The first fifteen minutes are a conversation
You stay sitting up, in your own clothes, while we talk through what brought you in and what you want out of the visit. Nothing goes near your mouth until that part is finished.
If it has been years, say so when you book. It changes how much time we set aside and it changes nothing about how you are treated. Raise a hand at any point and everything stops.
Keep the details for the room. Health history belongs on the paper forms you hand to the front desk — not in a web form, and not in an email.
Your first visit
What happens, in order
You send a request
Name, how to reach you, and a couple of times that work. The "what brings you in" box is optional — a few words like "check-up" or "chipped a tooth" is plenty. Leave medical details out of it.
We call you back
Usually the same working day, always within one. We confirm the time, tell you what the visit costs, and take your insurance details over the phone or at the desk rather than online.
Paperwork before you arrive
Print the new-patient forms and bring them filled in, or come fifteen minutes early and do them at the desk. Either is fine. If another practice has your recent records or images, give us their name and sign the release we hand you — we request your chart from them directly, which keeps it off email.
The visit itself — about 90 minutes
Fifteen minutes sitting up and talking first, then an exam with a dentist, the x-rays we need, and a cleaning where the gums are healthy. Everything we find goes up on the screen next to you as we go.
A written plan, then you decide
You leave with a printed plan: every item, its price, and what we expect to bill your insurance. Take it home if you want to think, or book at the desk if you are ready. Both are normal.
What to bring, and how paying works
What to bring
- Photo ID
- Your insurance card, if you have one — the card itself, not the numbers typed into anything
- Your completed new-patient forms
- Your previous dentist's name, if you would like us to request your records
- Any questions you have written down — bring them, we would much rather answer them than not
If you forget any of it, come anyway. We can sort the paperwork out at the desk.
Insurance and paying
We are in-network with several PPO plans and we file claims for patients as a courtesy. What a plan actually pays depends on your policy, your remaining annual maximum, and the treatment itself — so we will not quote you a number we cannot stand behind.
What we will do is put a written estimate in your hand before treatment, showing the full fee, what we expect to bill your insurer, and what we expect you to owe.
We take cash, debit and the usual cards. Larger plans can be split across several payments — ask at the desk when you get your estimate.
Download your new-patient forms
The forms are on our Resources page as PDFs. Print them, fill them in at home, and bring the paper with you. Please do not email them or send health details through this website — hand them to the front desk instead.
