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.

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 medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
• Please register securely with our Online Registration Form.

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-medication).

X-Rays

If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6 months), you may request that they forward them to our office. However, it is necessary that we take our own films, sometimes from a different angle and/or adjacent areas to reach our final diagnosis.

We provide our patients with the latest technology in digital radiography. We use Dexis Digital System which has substantially less radiation exposure than conventional dental x-rays. This system reduces exposure to radiation for the patient and provides instant images. Therefore, it is safer and more efficient.
