Patient Information
Our practice and our team is committed to making your first visit as comfortable and accommodating as possible. Our caring staff is looking forward to your first appointment and to welcoming you to Northern Colorado Dental Specialty and Implant Center. We provide a wide spectrum of services that are designed to make you look and feel your best.
We exist to honor the connection between comprehensive dental care that is well orchestrated and composed to empower our patients to be healthier and exquisite. We can’t wait to meet you- below are a few things to know about your first visit with us.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Exam
Because our work is highly precise, and because no two mouths are alike, we believe in developing a personalized treatment plan for every patient. On your first visit, your specialist will meet with you personally to discuss your goals concerning your oral health. The interview will be followed by a thorough examination to gauge your present oral condition.
Plan
Based on the interview and examination, we will develop a custom treatment plan which will best achieve your goals for long-term oral health. Just like your smile, your treatment plan is unique to you. It's important to us that you feel secure in your dental decisions, so your specialist will present your custom treatment plan with these objectives in mind:
Goal
- To identify your current dental problems
- To explain the potential dangers of leaving those problems untreated
- To present your custom treatment plan in plain and simple terms.
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.
Treat
Occasionally, 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. Our goal is always to honor your time, finances, and comfort while providing you with the best quality of care.
Prepare for Your Consultation
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
Your referral slip and any x-rays if applicable.
A list of medications you are currently taking.
Please bring the necessary completed New Patient Packet.
This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
Please alert our 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 on any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
