At your initial appointment, the clinician will gather information for establishing an individualized treatment care plan. This appointment will take on average two hours to complete. During this time, various needed X-rays, and intra and extra-oral photos will be taken. Your Periodontal exam will be conducted by your clinician, along with an oral cancer exam. Dr. Larry Bush will conduct a thorough comprehensive evaluation tailored to each patient’s needs and address any of your questions or concerns. A VelScope will be used as a preventative measure in detecting oral cancer. Dr. Bush will then recommend and prescribe a treatment plan as to what type of cleaning is best for your gingival tissue.
Before treatment is performed, we will discuss your financial options so you will understand your financial responsibility. Payment is due when you schedule a future appointment and the time of service. If you have dental insurance, your benefits are determined by your employer, not your dentist. Your policy is a contract between you and your plan company. Your plan and payment are your responsibility. A plan is not a guarantee of payment; it often does not cover all the costs involved in treatment.
We ask that you give our office 48-hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Thank you for being courteous to our Business Team.
We will also communicate this and more information through our text reminders.
