first visit

Congratulations on taking this first step toward better dental health.

“Our practice has been established to provide high quality state of the art implant and periodontal therapy."

We strive to make your visits with us as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Your comfort is an integral part of quality dental care. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive, high quality periodontal and implant therapy treatment in a clean, caring environment.

Prior to your first appointment, it is important that you have all patient registration forms completed.  You will either receive them via mail from our office, from your referring dentist, or you may download and print forms from the Patient Registration section of our website.  Along with your completed patient registration forms, we also ask that you bring a photo ID and your dental insurance card so that we may make a copy for our records.

Dr. Hammond will have obtained as much information as possible from your referring dentist. This may include x-rays and a letter requesting an examination for a particular problem. In some instances the x-rays from your dentist may not be diagnostic for a particular problem and additional x-rays may be necessary to provide an accurate diagnosis. Your initial examination appointment will include a review of your pertinent medical and dental history, a comprehensive periodontal examination and explanation of any necessary treatment. A plan will be presented to return your mouth to health and correct any deficiencies that exist.

Following your examination and consultation with Dr. Hammond, our Financial Coordinator will discuss fees, payment options and insurance as well as schedule appointments.

Please be prepared to pay for the initial examination at the time of the appointment.

We accept Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

For surgical procedures over $1,000.00 discount options are offered or financing is available through CareCredit.
