First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.   All medical history will be reviewed and your treatment plan will be presented.  Please bring your calendar with you so you can schedule your return date for surgery if you are planning on sedation.  Some cases can be performed the same day under local anesthetic.

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

• Your surgical referral slip and x-rays if applicable.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have medical or dental insurance, please bring your cards. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
• Bring photo identification.

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

A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink eight hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you to your appointment, stay in the office during the procedure and drive you home after.

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

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office.  Please check to make sure they have sent your x-rays before your appointment.  If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them with you. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.  Please come in a few minutes early so our trained staff can take x-rays.
