First Visit with Oral Surgeon
Your initial appointment will consist of an examination and treatment plan outlining your diagnosis and options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed on the same day as the evaluation, but a complex medical history or treatment plan will require a second appointment. Many times, this can be decided over the phone when you call for an appointment. And although we recommend a consultation appointment for wisdom teeth, it isn’t mandatory and the surgery can be done during the same visit. For dental implants, some wisdom teeth, or other procedures, a second appointment will be scheduled for surgery.
To make your appointment smoother, please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip a(if you have one)
- A list of all current medications
- Any x-rays you may have
We can take x-rays or request them from your dentist. If you have medical or dental insurance, please bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
