new patients.
How do I book my first appointment?
+
You can book your new patient appointment in seconds using the form on this page, or simply call us at (817) 765-6533. Our team will confirm your visit, answer any questions, and walk you through what to expect at Paulus Dental.
What happens during my first visit?
+
Your first visit includes a comprehensive oral exam, digital X-rays (if needed), a full health screening, TMJ and bite assessment, cavity detection, gum health evaluation, and a professional cleaning. Dr. Paulus takes time to get to know you and your smile — no rushing, no pressure.
How long will my appointment take?

A new patient visit typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes. We want enough time to do a thorough exam, complete your cleaning, and explain everything clearly so you leave with a full understanding of your oral health.
Do you accept dental insurance?

What should I bring to my first appointment?
+
Please bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable), and a list of any medications you're currently taking. If you have recent dental records or X-rays from another office, those are helpful — but not required.
