Your first visit
A consultation is a conversation and an examination — your surgeon reviews your history and imaging, explains your options, and answers your questions before anything is decided.
Before you arrive
What to bring
Having these items with you helps us verify benefits, review your records, and plan safely.
Photo ID
A driver’s license or other government-issued identification.
Insurance card
Your current dental and, if applicable, medical insurance cards so we can verify benefits.
Referral and records
Any referral slip, X-rays, or imaging from your dentist or orthodontist. If your referring office is sending records directly, let us know when you schedule.
Medication list
A current list of all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements you take, with dosages.
If a parent or guardian is accompanying a minor, please plan for them to stay for the consultation and consent discussion.
Health history and imaging
Safe surgical planning starts with a complete picture.
Health-history review
Your surgeon reviews your medical conditions, medications, allergies, and prior surgeries or anesthesia experiences. This shapes both the surgical plan and the comfort options that are appropriate for you, so please answer completely — including details that may not seem dental.
Imaging
We review any imaging your referring office sends. If additional or updated imaging is needed to plan your care, it may be taken at your visit. Detailed imaging helps your surgeon plan around your individual anatomy.
