Welcome to North Coast Jaw & Implant Center
First 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 and any x-rays if applicable.

  If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, 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, or if the films from the dentist or physician are not diagnostic, they will be taken at our facility.

• A list of medications you are presently taking.

  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 (ie., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)

• If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary information.

  This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims more efficiently.
  Check with your insurance carrier to make sure that we are in-network for your particular insurance plan.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
