First Visit
Your first visit will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis & treatment options. Our standard of care is to take a 3D CBCT scan of the area in question to assess the etiology of the problem & especially to determine the prognosis of the tooth in question. A 3D scan is crucial in assessing for possible fractures in teeth that can drastically affect the outcome of treatment. Futhermore, a 3D CBCT scan will reveal the complex anatomy inside the tooth making treatments more predictable. Please see our scheduling section for more information.
We have a three no show limit policy. We will not reschedule patients that don't show up to their scheduled appointment and/or cancel on the same day more than 3 occurrences.
