We Look Forward To Welcoming You To Our Office!

Your First Visit

Your first appointment will be scheduled to provide you with the doctor's undivided time and attention to ensure that your individual needs are being met and that your questions are answered.

Your initial visit will be a comprehensive examination with the necessary diagnostic x-rays, as well as information provided by your dentist, so that your situation can be thoroughly evaluated and the ideal treatment plan can be determined. If your dentist has taken x-rays recently, please request that they be forwarded to our office.

Following your examination, we will discuss the ideal treatment option and any alternatives, and explain the procedures involved and the treatment sequence. We will also show you photos of similar cases so that you can better understand the recommended treatment plan.

In complicated cases the doctor may need to talk with your dentist to discuss and coordinate the treatment recommendations. In all cases, a letter will be sent to your dentist to inform him or her of the periodontal findings and treatment recommendations.

Most exam and consultation appointments take approximately 45-60 minutes. This time is specifically reserved for you and the doctor, and since we do not appoint more than one patient at a time, we request that you give us 48 hours notice for any changes in your appointment time.
