Before You Arrive

Preparing for Your First Appointment

If you have received a welcome packet from our office, please be sure to complete all the enclosed forms and bring them with you to your first appointment.
Please make every effort to provide our office with all necessary insurance information prior to your first visit. This will help us to make your appointment go quickly and smoothly, as well as allow us to file your insurance claims in a timely fashion.
Please bring all insurance cards with you, as well as your driver’s license or other valid government issued photo identification. For minor patients, the identification should be of the parent accompanying the child.
If your general dentist or dental specialist has referred you for treatment, we will need a written referral. This referral is not for insurance purposes, but is an important communication tool between doctors. This way we know that any treatment rendered will not interfere with the treatment plan that you and your dentist have agreed upon.
If your general dentist or dental specialist has referred you for treatment, their office will often have x-rays that we can use. (For wisdom teeth, the x-ray needs to be a panoramic that is less than a year old.) Please try contacting your general dentist prior to scheduling an appointment, to see if they have appropriate x-rays. If they do, you could arrange to pick them up or have them sent by mail to our office.
