First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day. If you have medical or dental insurance, please provide our front office staff a copy of your insurance card before your appointment. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your referral slip and any X-rays if applicable.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)
X-Rays
Our doctors will be working with a very small space at the root of your tooth so we will need to capture a high resolution CBCT 3-D image and periapical x-rays at your consultation. If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward them to our office. Imaging from your general dentist can be helpful, but we will need to take our own specialized x-rays when you see us. If you have any concerns about imaging please contact us.
