Starting your care at a new dental practice should feel simple and straightforward, not stressful. At Radiant Smiles Dentistry, a locally owned and independently operated practice serving Pooler, Savannah, and the surrounding Chatham County communities, we have built our new patient experience around one goal: making sure you feel informed and at ease from the moment you schedule to the moment you walk out the door. Dr. Sonam Patel and our team take the time to walk you through what to expect, what your insurance covers, and what your visit will look like before you ever sit in the chair.
Every new patient appointment includes a complimentary wellness scan using our in-office technology, so we can show you exactly what is happening in your mouth and give you a clear picture of your oral health from day one. We also offer comfort menu options during your visit, including heated blankets and eye masks, because we believe your experience here should feel as good as the care itself.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, including TRICARE and Medicare, and our team will verify your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect. We do not accept HMO, DHMO, or Medicaid plans. For patients without insurance or those with out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible financing through Sunbit and accept all major credit and debit cards and personal checks for your convenience. We also offer an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance who want a simple, affordable way to access the care they need. If you are unsure about your coverage or want to talk through your options, we are happy to help before you arrive.
Your first visit at Radiant Smiles Dentistry is designed to be thorough, personal, and unhurried. From the moment you arrive, a team member will greet you, walk you through your comfort menu options, and take the time to understand what brought you in and what your expectations are. We do not just want to meet those expectations; we want to exceed them. From there, we will complete your complimentary wellness scan, charting, and any necessary X-rays, giving you a clear, visual picture of your oral health from day one.
Dr. Patel will walk you through everything on screen and answer any questions before any recommendations are made. Patient education is central to everything we do here, and we believe that when patients can see and understand their oral health for themselves, they leave feeling more confident and more in control of their care. No treatment will begin until you fully understand what is being suggested and why. That is a promise we make to every patient who walks through our doors.
