general dentistry

Prior to your visit at our facility, one of our well-trained treatment coordinators will make arrangements with you.  These coordinators assist you by answering any questions in regards to our practice, philosophy, and the different types of dental specialists and providers, as well as the details regarding your first visit.  Any relevant patient forms will be provided to you.  This can be done either through the mail, or may be downloaded using the links above.

Visit One

Upon your first visit to our office, you will be greeted by one of our receptionists, who, in turn, will promptly inform the relevant member of the team that you are present for your appointment.  You may then be brought back to our hygiene department and seated in a comfortable room with all of the latest high-tech diagnostic equipment. This technology enables us to thoroughly evaluate and document your particular situation and need.

Our highly-trained hygienist will review your past dental history and then do a full examination which will include: head and neck examination, cancer screening and detection, full mouth digital radiography, and caries detection, as well as periodontal screening examination.  Once this diagnostic evaluation has been completed, your visit may include cleaning and debridement of your teeth and gum tissue.  Should time not permit, this may need to be done at a separate visit. 

Once our hygiene department has assisted you and taken your oral records, you will then schedule an appointment with the particular specialist best suited to address your particular needs.

Visit Two

Treatment here at our office will be specifically customized for the patient because we have all of the necessary specialists here under one roof, including an in-house dental laboratory with master ceramists.  Your second visit may be a consultation appointment with the dentist and his/her assistants.  Should any additional records be needed, such as study casts of your teeth and mouth, or intraoral digital photographs of your clinical situation, they will then be taken at that time.   For some of our more advanced situations, a CAT scan of your head and neck region may be necessary, as well.

Visit Three

Complex cases may require a third visit, in which you will be given a thorough explanation and answers to any remaining questions that you may have.  A treatment plan for your case with different options, will be provided to you along with an estimate of the costs of treatment. You will be assigned a treatment coordinator who will follow you through all your visits and coordinate your appointments as well as your financial payment schedules.  They will also help to assist you with your insurance claims and any questions you may have once you have decided to pursue further treatment.
