What to Expect
1) Consultation Appointment
After we receive the referral from your dentists, we’ll schedule a 45-minute consultation appointment. During this initial appointment, we’ll complete a detailed examination and take radiographs of your teeth to determine the exact nature of the problem. A 3D Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) may be required.
2) Treatment Options
We will then formulate and discuss with you your treatment options. We may also communicate with your referring dentist or physician if there are any concerns or questions. Depending on the complexity of the treatment, you may need to attend multiple treatment appointments.
