X-rays

If you have recent x-rays from a previous dentist, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they will be taken at our facility.

Please provide the following information at the time of your examination:

  • X-rays (if applicable)

 

  • A list of your current medications

 

  • If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary ID cards; this will save time and allow us to help

 

  • Our Patient Registration Forms are available on this website if you would prefer to complete them prior to your arrival.

Please alert the office if you have any medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (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.).

General Information

Insurance

We work with a variety of insurance carriers and want to help you receive the maximum reimbursement to which you are entitled. As a convenience to you, we will help you process your insurance claims in order for you to receive the maximum benefit. We will also gladly provide dental x-rays and a written diagnostic report should your insurance company have any questions about the services provided.

Infection Control

Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control – you, your dentist, and your dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with our team of dentists and receive a straightforward answer.

 

Our entire team follows procedures recommended by several federal agencies: The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

 

  • Disinfectant hand soap
  • Gloves and face masks
  • Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
  • Sterilization of all equipment before every use
  • Disposable materials

 

We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat, and pressure.
