Your First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of any necessary X-rays, diagnosis, and a consultation regarding your treatment options. Your treatment plan will be discussed and future appointments scheduled. If you are in extreme pain, we will do our best to see you the same day that you call. We will make every effort to relieve your pain through emergency treatment, and then schedule you for the necessary follow-ups.

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

All medical history information
A list of medications you are presently taking
Current Insurance Information

Also, bring any Completed Paperwork that you may have printed prior to the appointment.

If you have dental insurance, please provide the information prior to your visit so that we may verify your benefits beforehand and lessen your wait time. This will save time and allow us to help you in the processing of your claim.

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

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

X-Rays

Xrays are vital in that we must be able to see everything going on to be able to properly and comprehensively treat you. Upon your initial visit we will take a full mouth series of xrays and take measurements around all of the teeth to establish the health of your mouth. We use digital radiography, so any “radiation” exposure is extremely minimal and not in any way harmful.

Upon your initial visit, we will take a full mouth series of xrays so that we may properly screen you for gum and bone disease and tooth decay. Dental xrays require the minimal amount of radiation exposure and our office uses Digital Xrays which are even less than traditional dental xrays, so there are no worries as to getting “too much” radiation. One day in the sun gives you more exposure than any dental xray will. Therefore, dental xrays are very safe.

Good Faith Estimates

We provide good faith estimates to our uninsured patients.
