First Visit

Your initial appointment usually will consist of a review of your medical and dental history, the collection of diagnostic information (x-rays), an intra-oral and extra-oral examination, and a discussion of your dental health status.  At this time, a review of your treatment options and a dental cleaning (prophylaxis) may also be performed.  However, some cases will require a second appointment to complete this evaluation. Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your visit:

• 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.

IMPORTANT:  All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  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.).

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office.  If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office.  If additional x-rays are necessary, they can be taken at our office.
