First Visit

Your initial appointment may consist of either a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options, or a treatment appointment. A complex medical history or treatment plan may 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 insurance card. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation and treatment visit.

It is important to alert our 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.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)

X-Rays

If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays of the teeth that we are to check, you may request that they forward them to our office or you may bring them with you to your appointment.  Our office utilizes digital radiography, so additional films will also be taken in our facility.  Generally two or three radiographs are taken during treatment.
