Patient Information
First Visit
Your new patient appointment will consist of a one-on-one interview with our patient coordinator. She will review your medical and dental history. This is an opportunity to get to know you and your dental needs. Plus, this time gives you a chance to meet our staff and find out more about our office. Please note we reserve two hours for your new patient appointment.
The patient coordinator will take pictures of your teeth, impressions of your teeth, full mouth x-rays and charting. Dr. Ward will perform a tooth-by-tooth exam. All of the information will be gathered so that the new patient coordinator and Dr. Ward may design a treatment plan that is specific to your needs and to the overall health of your mouth.
Your treatment plan will be presented to you at a second consultation appointment. There, the new patient coordinator will go over what is to be expected at each appointment, fees, and answer any other questions you may have.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18 at the consultation visit.
