First Visit
Your first visit will be a consultation with Dr. Carey which includes an assessment of your case, including a review of information provided by your dentist. If necessary, diagnostic x-rays will be taken so that your situation can be thoroughly evaluated, and the ideal treatment plan can be determined. Dr. Carey will discuss your diagnosis, explain procedures and sedation options, and create a treatment plan that best fits your individual needs. You will also meet with our Treatment Plan Coordinator who will discuss your treatment costs, insurance benefits, and payment options. It is at this time your surgery will be scheduled.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- A valid form of photo identification.
- Necessary documentation of your medical and/or dental insurance.
- Payment for any applicable co-pays or fees.
- Please fill out the Patient Registration Formonline before your visit or arrive 20 minutes prior to your appointment time to fill it out in the office.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 19 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
