First Visit

Oral Surgeon 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 will 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 surgical referral slip completed by your referring dentist.
  • Any current and applicable x-rays.
  • A list of medications you are presently taking.
  • If you have medical and/or dental insurance, bring your insurance cards or insurance information. Some procedures are covered under both your medical and dental insurance so please bring both. This will save time, and allow us to help you process any claims and maximize your insurance benefits.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

It is required that patients who will go to sleep for surgery have nothing to eat or drink 8 hours prior to their surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home. If you have questions about this requirement please talk to our staff in advance.

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 currently taking any medication (i.e. heart medications such as Aspirin, Plavix, Coumadin or other anticoagulant therapy, etc.)

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, 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.
