First Visit

Your initial appointment usually will consist of a review of your medical history, an oral examination, a cancer screening exam and digital x-rays as needed. After your evaluation a review of your treatment options will be presented to you. Usually, treatment will not be started on the same day as the consultation. However, if you dental case involvement multiple options and treatment concerns this may require a second appointment to educate you and provide the best dental treatment for your particular case.

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

• Any x-rays taken by a previous dentist, if applicable.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

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 currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
