Your First Visit

The consultation

Clear answers, sometimes same-day treatment

Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as your consultation if scheduled in advance. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan may require an evaluation first, with treatment provided at a second appointment.

A preoperative consultation and oral examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery.

X-rays

If your referring dentist or physician has taken X-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them with you. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.

For many oral and maxillofacial procedures a 2-D panoramic X-ray is needed for proper diagnosis. On occasion, 3-D diagnostic imaging (such as a CBCT scan) may be required for the doctor to provide the highest level of care. Please be advised there may be an additional charge for these X-rays.
