New Patient Guide
Know what comes next before your first visit.
Monica Brown DDS welcomes new patients from College Station and across the Brazos Valley. Here is how to request a visit, what to bring, and what a first appointment commonly includes.
Choose the right visit
The team will match your goals to the right appointment length and explain forms, records, insurance information, and what the visit will include.
Arrive prepared
The practice is at 122 Walton Dr, College Station, TX 77840. Open directions before leaving and arrive a few minutes early so registration does not take time away from your care.
What to bring
A practical first-visit checklist.
Having these four items ready keeps registration simple and gives the clinical team a complete starting point.
Photo identification
Bring a current photo ID so the team can complete registration accurately.
Insurance information
Bring your current dental insurance card if you have coverage. The team can use it to help explain available benefit information and estimated patient portions.
Medication list
Bring a current list of medications and relevant health information directly to the office rather than entering it in chat or the website form.
Previous records or X-rays
Records from a prior dentist can be helpful when available. Ask the front desk about the secure way to transfer them.
What a first visit may include
A baseline, a conversation, and a clear next step.
A routine first visit commonly includes a health-history review, necessary X-rays, a comprehensive exam, gum and oral-cancer screening, and a professional cleaning when appropriate. Problem-focused visits begin with the specific concern.

Insurance and payment

Day-of reminders
Make arrival feel easy.
Save the office number, open the map before leaving, and allow time for any forms. Bring questions with you; they are part of the visit, not an interruption.

Answers for the questions people ask first.
Is Monica Brown DDS welcoming new patients?
Yes. New patients can request an appointment online or call (979) 696-8594. The front desk will help match the visit to routine care, a specific concern, an urgent problem, or a consultation goal.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, a current medication list, and any relevant prior dental records or X-rays. Also bring a short list of questions or goals so the visit covers what matters to you.
Will my first visit include a cleaning?
A routine new-patient visit commonly includes a health-history review, necessary X-rays, a comprehensive exam, gum screening, and a cleaning when appropriate. If active gum disease or an urgent problem changes the priority, the team will explain the recommended sequence clearly.
What if I have not seen a dentist in years?
You are welcome here. The first visit is about establishing a current baseline and building a manageable plan, not judging the gap in care. Start with the most important concerns, then work through treatment and prevention at a pace you understand.
Can I discuss dental anxiety before the appointment?
Absolutely. Tell the team what has been difficult in the past and what helps you feel more in control. Clear explanations, agreed pause signals, predictable steps, and extra time for questions can make a meaningful difference.
How do insurance and payment questions work?
Bring your current insurance information and contact the office for plan-specific questions. After Dr. Brown evaluates your needs, the team can explain the proposed treatment, estimated fees, and the information available about your benefits before care is scheduled.
Can I send records or medical details through Maggie?
No. Maggie is for general practice information and website guidance. Share records, medical history, insurance identifiers, and detailed personal dental information directly with the office through its secure process.
