INITIAL VISIT

When you arrive for your first visit we will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office. Please be prepared to complete all health and insurance information forms that will allow us to begin your dental treatment. Also, if you have dental insurance coverage, we will need to make a copy of your current insurance card, so please bring that with you. Please call our office if you have a latex allergy, need to take any type of premedication or have any other health concerns we should know about before your appointment.

Your initial visit will consist of the following:

• All necessary radiographs (X-rays)
• Review of medical history
• Oral examination, including:
• oral cancer screening
• occlusal analysis
• orthodontic screening
• periodontal screening
• Diagnosis and treatment plan

Note - Many adult patients have some degree of gum disease, which requires more detailed periodontal treatment; therefore, adult patients are never scheduled for a prophylaxis (cleaning) during their initial visit. If you do not require periodontal treatment, your prophylaxis is usually scheduled during your final appointment at the completion of your treatment plan.

At the end of your initial visit, our staff will explain the doctor’s findings and what treatment is necessary for you to achieve the optimum dental health. We will also provide fee and/or co-payment estimates for you based on the information you provide us regarding any dental insurance coverage. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your dental treatment.

Should you have any questions please feel free to call us. We look forward to seeing you.
