We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment is complimentary and will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. If you have any records or X-rays available, please bring them with you. We can usually answer general questions about treatment during this initial exam. If it is determined that treatment might be indicated at this time, a second appointment for diagnostic records will be scheduled which will include X-rays, photos and impressions for study models. This will be followed by a formal treatment consultation. We feel it is important to analyze each patient's specific needs, because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction. At this visit, we will discuss treatment options, time frames and financial arrangements. We insist that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of and how long it will take. If further dental development is needed before proceeding, a recall appointment will be scheduled to reevaluate the patient’s status in the future.
