Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Your medical history and treatment plan will be reviewed and an appointment made to provide treatment on another day. Occasionally, in certain situations the surgery may be performed the same day as the consultation.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is necessary for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, please ask that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them with you to your consultation. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our office.
