Your First Visit

 


You can arrive for your appointment a few minutes early and prepare for your initial consultation by filling out your medical and dental histories. Once your paperwork is complete, your first visit will consist of a review of your medical and dental histories, followed by radiographic (x-ray) and clinical examination. After your examination, we will explain your diagnosis and treatment options. We will take the time to answer any questions you may have regarding your treatment.

After your consultation, we will be able to schedule an appointment with the appropriate amount of time required to complete the specific treatment you need.

In some cases, your treatment can be completed at the time of your consultation. This is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your initial visit:

  • Your referral slip and any x-rays, if applicable
  • A list of medications you are presently taking
  • If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card.

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

Please notify the office prior to treatment if you have a medical condition that may be of concern (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, heart murmur, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.), if you are taking any medication (i.e. heart medication, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or if you have allergies to any medications (i.e. sulfa, penicillin, aspirin, etc.).
