First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and consultation by Dr. Tallbacka explaining the condition of your oral health and treatment options. The use of intraoral cameras and laser cavity detection will help ensure an accurate diagnosis. Any treatment recommendations will be thoroughly explained, and fees for any work needed provided.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Any current x-rays from your previous dentist.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
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 on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)
X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), 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 can be taken at our facility.
