Scheduling

When You, as a New Patient, Call Our Office

When you first call the office our scheduling coordinator will ask a few brief questions so that we may properly reserve your appointment. Please have the following information available if possible:

  • Your referral card or form. This is usually provided by your referring dentist. If you are self-referred or referred by a friend of the practice, our staff can help you schedule the appropriate appointment. The referral card should should state why your dentist is referring you to our office – a comprehensive exam, implant evaluation or selective evaluation
  • Do you have an artificial joint replacement (e.g. hip or knee) or artificial heart valves? Do you have a history of rheumatic heart disease? These conditions often require antibiotic premedication for all appointments. If not taken, we may not be able to treat/examine you at your visit.
  • Did your dentist take dental radiographs (x-rays) and did they give them to you?

The scheduling coordinator will request that you complete the patient registration and medical history forms. These forms can be downloaded by clicking here. By completing these forms at home before your appointment you can more accurately and conveniently provide the necessary information.

Please be sure to list all medications taken
and insurance information if applicable.

At the time of your initial visit to the office please bring the following if possible:

  • Your referral card or form.
  • Dental radiographs(x-rays) from your referring dentist, if requested.
  • Your completed patient registration and medical history forms.
  • If you have dental insurance, please bring any forms or insurance cards with you to the appointment, as we are unable to obtain these.

Please Note: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation appointment.
