First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan may require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your oral surgery referral slip and any current x-rays if applicable.
- A list of prescribed or over the counter medications you are currently taking.
- Bring medical or dental insurance cards along. 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 at the consultation and treatment visit.
A preoperative consultation and physical examination may be required for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please be sure to have nothing to eat or drink, including water, eight hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home. We ask that the adult driving stays in the office or on the premises during the entire appointment.
Please alert the office if you have any medical conditions that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves or joints, rheumatic fever, radiation treatment, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medications (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, osteoporosis/osteopenia, weight loss medications-GLP1, etc.).
X-Rays
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays or photos 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 films are necessary they can be taken at our facility.
