First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Typically, if root canal (endodontic) treatment is necessary we will provide this service the same day as your consultation; making your visit convenient to your busy schedule. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require a separate evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Your comfort is most important to us. We will make certain you are comfortable and the are being treated is completely numb. Many of our patients even take a nap during the procedure. We pride ourselves in our ability to provide the highest level of painless treatment.
Your treatment if needed, will last approximately 1 hour and you will be able to go about your day as planned.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern, (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)
X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 3 months), you may request that they email them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they will be taken at our facility.
