First Visit
What Will Happen On My First Visit?
Please assist us at the time of your initial visit to the office by providing the following information:
- Your referral slip and x-rays from your referring dentist.
- A list of medications you are currently taking (please note that you can fill out your patient registration and medical history form on our website.)
- If you have dental insurance, please bring any forms or insurance cards with you to the appointment.
Please Note: All patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation appointment.
Please notify the office if you have a medical condition or concern prior to surgery (e.g. artificial heart valves or joints, heart murmurs requiring pre-medication, severe diabetes, or hypertension).
We will complete an in-depth medical and dental health history and a thorough examination to measure for gum pockets, bone loss, loose teeth, gum recession, bite and other signs of periodontal disease. We will also assess bone thickness and height for implant placement if you are seeing us for implant treatment. Bone assessment may sometimes require the use of our CT scan.
Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM with lunch at 1:00 PM.
Office Hours
We will schedule your appointment as promptly as possible. Please allow approximately 90 minutes for your initial visit. If you have pain or an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day.
