Visiting the dentist can be hard to plan sometimes, especially if you’re a new patient and have to remember bringing in your dental insurance card, filling out forms, and following any protocols that you learn about when you schedule your appointment. It’s different at Weldon Dental of Rome! Our team makes each experience you have with us hassle-free and easy. We’ve included all of the information you need to help you prepare for your visit below, in one convenient place. If you have any additional questions, be sure to call our dental office and we’d be happy to help.
Your First Visit
If your first appointment with us is for a checkup and cleaning, you can expect it to last about an hour. Once you’re shown back to one of our treatment rooms, you’ll have an opportunity to meet either Dr. Ryan or Dr. Leigh Weldon one-on-one to discuss any concerns or questions you have about your or your child's dental health. One of our dental hygienists or assistants will then collect any necessary diagnostic information, including X-rays or intraoral camera photos. Our team will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth, leaving your smile feeling healthy and refreshed. Dr. Ryan or Dr. Leigh will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums and will review their findings with you. If any treatment is recommended, they will discuss the different options as you work together to develop your personalized treatment plan.

Dental Insurance
As a courtesy to our patients, our office gladly files all dental insurance claims on your behalf. We are not contracted with any dental insurance company, which allows our dentists to give each patient individualized time and personalized treatment plans using the highest quality services and materials.
We can help explain the details of your plan if you have any questions to make dental insurance easier to navigate. Many dental insurance plans offer excellent coverage to “out-of-network” practices.
We ask that you pay your estimated patient portion of each visit at the time of service.
We accept cash, checks, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and CareCredit. You can learn more about CareCredit Financing below.
CareCredit Financing
For patients who don’t have dental insurance or who are looking into receiving treatments that aren’t covered by their benefits, we also offer additional financing through CareCredit, our trusted, third-party financer. They offer flexible monthly payment plans at little-to-no-interest to fit almost any budget. You can find out if you qualify by clicking on the link below to apply. If you’d like help, our team can assist you!
