New Patients
Prior to Your Visit
We are so excited to meet you! Prior to your visit, we recommend filling out your new patient documents online to shorten your check- in time. You can find the documents on our website and also in the welcome email you received.
If using dental insurance, your insurance plan and benefits will be verified before your appointment. We are unable to schedule an appointment with incomplete or incorrect insurance information.
Please note that your dental insurance plan is a contract between you and your insurance company. We have no say in how much or how little your insurance decides to pay. Starting last year, we have noticed that many insurance companies are not paying for the initial comprehensive exam and xrays at 100%. An increasing number of our patients now have a small co-pay. We are required to collect all co-pays and deductibles as part of our contract with the insurance company. If you do have a co-pay, we will let you know. If you have questions about a co-pay, we recommend calling your insurance to find out more information.
Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage.
First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. First, a friendly staff member will take digital xrays and intraoral pictures as prescribed by Dr. Adegun. Next a periodontal (gum) exam will be completed as part of our detailed examination. These images are superimposed on a 40 inch tv and Dr. Adegun will review the findings with you. She will then diagnose the appropriate dental cleaning and any other treatment recommendations. If time allows, we will perform your dental cleaning the same day.
Occasionally, dental treatment can be done 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.
A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the New Patient appointment.
