First Visit

What Will Happen On My First Visit?

Upon arriving at our office you will be asked to remove your outside shoes/boots. This is because as a surgical office we wish to minimize the risk of infection to our patients, and removing your footwear helps to minimize dirt and debris that may be tracked in to the surgical rooms.  For your convenience, disposable slippers are always available for you to use.

Please assist us at the time of your initial visit to the office by providing the following information:

• Your referral slip and x-rays from your referring dentist.
• A list of medications you are currently taking (please note that you can fill out your patient registration and medical history form on our website.)
• If you have dental insurance, please bring any forms or insurance cards with you to the appointment.

Please Note: All patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation appointment.

Please notify the office if you have a medical condition or concern prior to surgery (e.g. artificial heart valves or joints, heart murmurs requiring pre-medication, severe diabetes, hypertension, long term steroid use or if you are taking BLOOD THINNERS etc).

We will complete an in-depth medical and dental health history and a thorough examination to measure for bone loss, loose teeth, bite, oral cancer screening, TMJ, and other signs of periodontal disease.
