Your first visit to our office is the most important one. |
It gives both of us an opportunity to get to know each other. Establishing a good relationship is vital to achieving our common goals of improving and maintaining your dental health.
For some patients, the first visit is an emergency or a specific urgent concern. Of course, we will attend to the emergency situation first and make you comfortable. If there is not an emergency concern, the first visit typically involves taking any necessary x-rays, a comprehensive exam, diagnosis, cleaning and treatment planning.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
• A completed Medical/Dental History Form
• Any recent dental X-rays (if applicable)
• A list of your current medical prescriptions and any other vitamins, supplements, etc.
• If you have dental benefits, please bring your card and any associated
Documents.
• This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) and require antibiotics prior to dental treatment, or if you are on any medications (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
X-Rays
If your old dentist or physician has taken X-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. If additional X-rays are necessary, they can be taken at our facility. (Our digital X-rays reduce exposure by 90% compared to traditional film X-rays.) |
