About your visit
Before your consultation appointment, please let us know if you would prefer the treatment (if needed) to be done on the same day as your consultation.
Please bring your insurance information to the appointment or provide it to us beforehand.
Your first visit
Consultation Appointment
(45 mins)
Dr. Lai will review your medical history, dental history (anxiety level) and perform a thorough examination of the area of concern. Digital radiographs (xrays) and sometimes a 3D Cone Beam CT scan will be taken for a thorough assessment.
Dr. Lai will then discuss all the findings, propose several treatment options and advise you on all their pros and cons. The number and duration of visits and treatment fees will be discussed.
If you would like us to find out your insurance coverage, we can send a pre-determination to your insurance.
Your second visit
Treatment
You will be given adequate freezing/numbing during the procedure and you may be numb for a few hours after that.
If you need oral sedation for your appointment, you will be asked to arrive to the clinic 1 hour before your appointment time. You will need a driver to take you home after the appointment.
After your treatment
Follow Up
Please CONTACT your dentist for permanent fillings and crowns.
We will send you a reminder to return to our office to check on the healing of your tooth.
A DETAILED REPORT WITH RADIOGRAPHS WILL BE SENT TO YOUR DENTAL OFFICE.
