New Patient Information

Your initial visit will be an examination and consultation appointment.  It will consist of reviewing your medical and dental history and performing a complete examination of your teeth, gums and other oral structures. Following the examination, the doctor will discuss any treatment recommendations with you and answer any questions you may have.  In complicated cases he may need to talk with your dentist to discuss and coordinate the treatment recommendations.  In all cases, a letter will be sent to your dentist to inform him or her of the periodontal findings and treatment recommendations.

Most exam and consultation appointments take approximately 45-60 minutes.  Since this time is specifically reserved for you and the doctor, and since we do not appoint more than one patient at a time, we request at least 48 hours notice for any changes in your appointment time.
