First Visit

Your initial appointment will be one hour in length. During this time we will thoroughly examine your teeth clinically and radiographically, provide oral cancer screening and assess the tissue around each tooth for signs of gum disease. Following this, appropriate treatment options will be presented and discussed with you. If you are in extreme pain, we will do our best to see you, on most occasions, 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 such as dental cleaning.

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

• Any previous x-rays if possible
• A list of medications you are presently taking

If you have dental insurance, bring your current insurance card. If you don’t have one, we will need the subscriber number, group number, and phone number. 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.

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken X-rays, please have them forwarded to our office as they may be helpful in our diagnosis. A digital radiograph can be emailed to us. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
