First Visit Expectations
If you’re like most patients, you appreciate being informed before arriving at the dentist. Below is an overview of what you can expect during your first visit to Dentistry For You.
Let’s Get to Know Each Other
Your initial appointment will consist of an exam, x-rays, cleaning, and consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options; however, a complex medical history or treatment plan may 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:
- A list of medications that you are presently taking
- X-rays, if available
- If you have medical or dental insurance, please bring a copy of your insurance card and any necessary, completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to treatment (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics for necessary pre-medication.)
X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward the x-rays 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.
