Appointments

We operate on time. If you have a 10:00 appointment you will be seen at that time or sooner. You very seldom ever have to wait. We know your time is as important as our time. As we are timely, we appreciate your timeliness also. New patients should arrive 10 minutes earlier than the appointment time in order to fill out the registration forms.

New patient's initial appointments generally last approximately 45 min. At that appointment we will go over the medical history, addresses your concerns and do a thorough examination. The examination includes panorex and bitewing x-rays, oral cancer screening, tooth and gum tissue evaluation, decay analysis and other oral findings. Results and treatment options will be discussed and fee estimates given.

Hygienist appointments (cleanings) are generally 1 hour for adults and 1/2 hour for children.

Restoration appointments (fillings) are generally 1/2 hour.

Crown appointments are generally 1 hour for the first session, and 1 week plus a day later, 1/2 hour for the completion.

Time scheduled with the doctor or hygienist is reserved just for you. We do not double book. A fee will be charged if you fail your appointment. A 48 hour notice is required to cancel an appointment.
