Once you have completed your initial consultation, a second appointment to provide treatment will be scheduled. Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
-
Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
-
A complete and current list of medications you are presently taking and any other pertinent medical information including your physician's name.
-
If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the initial consultation visit.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV sedation or general anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink 8 hours prior to your scheduled surgery. You will also need a responsible adult to drive you home.
Please alert the office in advance if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves, total joint replacements, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
X-Ray If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office in advance. If there is not enough time to allow them to be forwarded by mail, please pick them up and bring them with you to our office at the time of your scheduled appointment. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
