First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of any necessary X-rays, diagnosis and a consultation regarding your treatment options. Occasionally treatment may be done the same day as the consultation. A complex medical history or treatment plan, however, may require a separate visit for treatment. If you are in extreme pain, we will do our best to provide relief through emergency treatment that day and then schedule you for the necessary follow-ups.

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

If you have dental insurance, bring your current insurance card. If you don’t have one, we will need the subscriber number, group number, and phone number. This will save time and allow us to help you in the processing of your claim.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to treatment (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.).

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken X-rays, please have them forwarded to our office as they may be helpful in our diagnosis. A digital radiograph can be emailed to us. If additional images are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
