Before the appointment think of any questions you may have and write them down prior to coming to the appointment. Additionally, think about what is important to you with your care, and be sure to let us know.
Upon arrival, you can expect to spend 5-10 minutes with the doctor's assistant who will wish to interview you regarding your dental condition and pertinent general health history and status. After this, she and the doctor will examine your mouth. At the conclusion of your examination, the doctor will usually provide you with an explanation of your conditions and what choices you might consider in resolving them. You will be given time to ask questions for clarification or further explanation. We will then report the outcome of this examination to your dentist.
Our philosophy is to bring you and your dentist into the decision-making process as to what will best meet your needs and desires for your oral health and appearance. This initial visit may take as much as 1.5 hours.
We make all reasonable efforts to respect your time and be on schedule as much as possible. In that regard, we always appreciate it when a patient arrives on time or a few minutes prior to their appointment. For your convenience, directions to our office are included on this site.
