PATIENT INFORMATION

First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of an exam, x-rays and consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. A detailed report with pictures and x-rays is mailed to you or your responsible party shortly after the appointment.

Please assist us by providing the following information prior to your consultation:

Any x-rays if applicable.
A list of medications you are presently taking.
Completion of our new patient packet. Seniors are often on many medications and have conditions that can affect the way dental treatment is approached. Please be sure to read over the materials carefully so we can provide you with expedient care.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics, for pre-med.)

X-Rays

If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to the first appointment. If additional films are necessary, we can take them at your appointment.
