Your First Visit

| • | Helpful Staff: Our front office staff works hard to oversee your paperwork and collect information from your insurance. Any information you can provide before your first visit helps us better understand your policy and how it can benefit you. We understand that treatment options can be constrained by budgets; we want to help you get the work you need within your limitations. Our staff is professional and courteous. They are there to help ensure your comfort and answer your dental questions. We are here to advise and help you feel at ease. |
| • | Review History: We will ask a lot of questions, both dental and medical. We will ask about medications you are taking and any diagnosis or habit that could decrease your ability to heal; it’s important to provide us with all information even if it seems irrelevant. Creating a whole picture helps us create the right treatment plan specific to you. During this time we will also review any information provided by your family dentist. |
| • | Take a Look: Even with the best of notes from your dentist, we will want to examine the area in question. We will take a look with a probe and may even want to take a closer look through digital x-rays. Depending on the work being done, we may even want to examine the area through 3D radiology. Digital radiology today is a huge improvement to the slides of the past. The images are captured faster, and clearer can be viewed on a larger screen all while using significantly less radiation. |
| • | Discuss What You Want: Finally, we will review and discuss what you want, while also sharing our observations. Working together, we will create a treatment plan designed specifically to you. |
