First Oral Surgery Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- If you have medical and/or dental insurance, please bring any insurance cards with you to the appointment.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 19 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink six hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
Please alert the office if you have a 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 currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
X-Rays
At Oral Surgery Associates, we use state-of-the-art digital radiography and imaging to evaluate each patient. This technology uses a fraction of the radiation of traditional x-rays. As part of your consultation, a digital x-ray will be performed to assist us with your treatment plan. Computer-assisted analysis with our i-CAT Cone Beam CT Scanner may also be used if needed.
