 Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
- A list of medications and their doses that you are presently taking
- If you have dental insurance, please bring your policy information.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia or sedation for surgery. If your surgery will be completed under sedation or anesthesia, you must not have anything to eat or drink (not even water) for 6 hours prior to your surgery and you will also need an adult to drive you home.
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.). Please bring an up to date list of any medications and their doses to your consultation visit.
