First Visit Expectations

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating diseases that destroy the gums and bones that surround your teeth. Your general dentist or oral health care provider may have noticed signs of periodontal disease at your recent visit. They are concerned about your oral and systemic health and thought it may be best for you to see a specialist.

Before your first visit you will complete a health history and privacy policy agreement online. When you arrive the day of your appointment our Patient Concierge will greet you and confirm all documents have been completed. You will then meet our team leader, financial planner, hygienists, surgical assistants and doctors during an office tour. We always point out the technology we utilize for diagnostics and treatments. This may include digital xrays, 3D xray machines, dental lasers and intraoral scanners.

After we discuss your health history and expectations for the visit in our consultation room, our doctor will complete a full mouth exam to determine if any disease is present or if any treatment is necessary. If treatment is recommended, our assistants will review pre and post op instructions related to the procedure before our financial planner presents the investment of the treatment. We will give you a complete cost breakdown including all fees associated with our surgical procedures, consultation, diagnosis and radiographs. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have related to the treatment itself, or the financial obligation associated with it. We will do everything we can to maximize your insurance benefits if you have some available.
